[QUOTE="rose pilchett, post: 1284040, member: 1779"] i've done 20 acres before in 2011 with an old 4f reversible some older locals told me to plough slowly at approx 15 degree angle to the ridges then power harrowed twice then in with combi- again at a slight angle it was still fairly uneven on the worst bits at harvest- but we did not want to bring all of the clay up to the top straight away i combined it with 18ft header and i had to go easy the first year in some places- managed to scoop up the occasional bit of dirt here and there gave it a good dose of muck after then second year i ploughed at the different 15 degree angle, soil was then cultipressed in spring before spring barley I don't farm it anymore but i believe it is pretty level now and the contract farm outfit uses a 25 ft header fine [/QUOTE]
