There are quite a few that run power harrow before planting on stone free land, early 90’s we used to run 2 4m with longer tines in to get the depth, before bed tillers became fashionable

We used to on sand land ,,lift the roller up out the way and bury it as deep as it would go and then direct plant with a 2 row ransome faun ,,wasnt untill boss took on some gravel land did we bother with a seperator ,,direct planted ridges lifted better ,more soil in the ridge to carry up the web
