[QUOTE="Goldilocks, post: 1912712, member: 2216"] With CTF you can turn this statement around : " If you are doing CTF cultivating more than an inch or two is a waste of time " This is the crux of CTF, if no vehicle has been on the soil there is no compaction to remove and cultivations can be wide and shallow, leading to substantial savings in fuel and time through not having to drag deep cultivators over the whole field. In my experience you have to take a flexible view with wheelways. We have a wheelway conditioner ( basically a pimped shakerator ) which is often used on the two infill wheelways ( we are on a 10/30 system ) but rarely on the 30m tramlines so that they remain firm for spraying and ferting.
