Levelling headlands

[texelburger]

Hi,
We have a couple of headlands that are very up and down after lifting Spuds in the wet, a few years ago,where the soil went up and over the web in waves.It would be great to level them back down.Wants to be mounted and not big,something like a scuffle with a good levelling board.
Any ideas on the best machine to do the job ?

Discs

Vaderstadt Carrier with levelling boards.

3 metre Terradisc at speed. Drive it like you stole it.

Grays multiharrow. With springtines rather than discs, if leveling is the priority.

Shorten the top link and it will pull the soil up and then drag the high bits into the low bits.

IME not the terradisc.
We found that when you lifted it at the end it heaved up the soil with it and when you let it in again it pulled a bit of soil away with it leaving exactly the problems you described. Running across the ends again didn't level the soil again. Smaller wings more legs on a terrano type of machine might be better but I would suggest something with leveling paddles would be your best bet.
Depends on soil type of course.

I fear the rail road track would drag the soil in the dips as well as the mounds,maybe wrong though.I think it needs a solid,static,mounted levelling board.

as tool with plenty of fixed bars to pull the soil, as long ( multiple bars ) as you can pull/lift.

Cousins combi or similar

Simba toptilth could be worth a look, its not mounted, but has a hydraulic ram on the front so you should be able to carry and deposit soil as required, but it doesn't like too much stubble as it will block, I have one and am not far away, so PM if of interest.

Some of the local spud outfits have dedicated land levellers to go on the front linkage, that might be an option.

Not sure of the manufacturer. Greasing it is a basturd.

maybe need some tines in front?

Looks a good job. If you work the ground up first and give it a couple of passes.

Not for endrigs. They get over worked anyway.

i was thinking it would need to loosen the soil to get material to work with?

Thanks, I'll be in touch.

Brilliant tool for spreading gravel o tracks, bit slow for levelling field. We use wiberg with 2 levelling boards.
