Would a shakerator be any good to correct wheeling marks or heavily trafficked areas within a DD system? I am thinking about borrowing a 7 leg 3m version with a toothed packer.
I was advised many years ago by Jo Scammel(?) from Grass Roots Nutrition(or was it Muddy Boots) to run the subsoiler but without the shaker on.
Who knows.
I am resisting temptation to try ripping up a few stretches of tramlines with my shakerator, partly because with the shins on it is fairly high desturbance, I used to use it like a chisel plough. If I do then I would first remove all the legs and just put back on one or two each side to take out just the wheelings or tramlines.
Where I have moved tramlines, the old ones disappear with time if left alone and are barely visible in the next crop. straw hauling is another matter and I am still working on the neighbours to keep trailers on tramlines.
2 years ago I did some bits of badly rutted tramlines by the next year they were back to rutted
ones I left but leveled by trailers drill wheels and combine tracks are now less rutted
subsoiling is for cultivation pans not rut removal drainage or moleing prevents the ruts forming
