We have panning and need to subsoil/ flatlift. mainly loam, which has panned, over gravel/sand. Need to go down below 12" to break it. Looking at something like a Spaldings Flatlift to buy (not new!) or hire. All our ground is grazing and silage, can you mow after flatlifting assuming its done the year before you are cutting? I'd thought that the idea of a flatlift was that you could,hence its name, however I've heard stories........ We did use a subsoiler on a trial area which worked brilliantly drainage/grazing wise but left a somewhat rugged landscape not exactly mower friendly! I have no doubt a lot is down to the operator and conditions so I'm asking in general terms if a flatlift is better suited to cut and graze ground than a subsoiler.
