That's about 7 hectare down yesterday, started mowing at early this morning (a bit afraid I couldn't keep the 6910 cool) and now done, about 30 hectares down in 7 1/2 hours. Having to do 21 pieces kills output.
On the photo one of the best pieces...

The strange thing is you have got lots of big stones yet overall the field does not look stony. You must be mining them.

Dont say you are using a triple K type cultivator.They were perfect for finding and pulling up stones.I’m still at it ! Same field different stones my arms and fingers are on fire

Glacial boulder clay subsoil. They just bubble up every year. You could plough that field and gather stones for 20 years and you would still get more. Most of Scotland is like it.

We have big stones too but after they are picked the field can still resemble a crop of tatties on the surface with a bit of soil between.
Reseeding 35 acres this month so will do some pictures

They say its ploughing that makes the stones rise.

You only pick them once and regular picking reduces the problem massively.

I’ve been ploughing it for thirty years and they get less over the whole farm year on year used to pick them with diggers then stone bears now just two days by hand.
