[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 4221370, member: 192"] Been using a power harrow to level some rutted tramlines up so at the same time tried it direct into some stubble at 1inch deep to see what it did as a weed hitting tool and it's done a fantastic job. Ran it at 10km/hr which was using 8.5l/ha fuel so around £2.70/ha. The power harrow itself is 20 years old so other than blades has negligible running costs. With the tractor and man all in it's about £11/ha and only lacking proper consolidation which could easily be remedied by towing an old Cambridge rolls from the nettles. It wasn't smashing the soil to pieces due to the forward speed so what's not to like? Any disc/press machines are silly money unless you import direct but your still looking at about £10k for 6m and they are only doing a similar job to the power harrow if run like we've tried. Any opinions? [/QUOTE]
