Well it has been fo 70 years here although flat roller would do same job if its dry enough.No, it's not!
Drill Turnips on itSo what would I do with ground poached and cattle tramped down to the til? Its heavy land, 20 year old pasture, needs reseeded.
Can’t see how I can make a job of it unless I plough.
How do I sort it well by leaving the plough where it is?
same here , it hasnt got 'shatta boards' on it tho whatever they are, i must be doing something wrong, not spending enough on new machinery i guess...Well it has been fo 70 years here although flat roller would do same job if its dry enough.
exactly, volunteers can come a bit thick if combine has chucked a load of corn out the back , barley or oats will come up and smother the seedlings in the ex. swath rows a bit but apart from that.....None of my clients would plough after a cereal crop unless the field was totally borked, always min-tilled grass in. There is nothing to be gained from ploughing it.

all he needs is a 3m ph a roller of somesort an an old spinner , varispreader would be ok
im not sure why all this is so difficult as its actually like falling of a log unless youre a towny

another pass but ,yeah ideal if youve got time .Hence the need to spread spilt grains about a bit with a cultivator.

its worth keeping one about for even just seed sowing imo.A wagtail with a 12 ft chain harrow on . Best seeder out , lot go far to deep with those grassharrow air seeders
rotavator is good alternative to the plough but wont tip soil up hill. which what i always do if im ploughingSpray it off and plough it. No other way as your grass weed seed bank will be immense otherwise. Put into corn (still have to plough) or spray off and put brassica forage crop in then reseed in spring?
No getting away from the plough if it's grass to grass, particularly if the ley has been there a long time.

got some nice looking SB atm after the rotavator , no plough, glyphosate tho.Only times I have seen it used it ended up with weed grasses coming right back up in no time at all. Would consider it a last resort for land you can't plough.
sumos jokers etc..all take big power a draft requirement, how but looking at the subject in a different way to 'the old 'bigger implement bigger tractor creepy creepy up.There is no need to go massively deep when doing min-till, unless of course you have tramlines/ruts that are very deep.
Had clients to who used horsch jokers, sumos and the like. Pull up tramlines in the usual manner then raise the working depth a bit and till the field at a 30 degree angle to the tramlines. If it's not fine enough, powerharrow it shallow once. Put grass in with einbock and cambridge roll once. Watch for slugs and weeds.
