They’ll be saying ploughs are no good next.

In the right soil they are ok but they do smear the bottom and fine particles can wash down and make the problem worse. In the wrong soil type or if it is wet it will make lovely porridge. A power harrow wont smear as mush.
Not too keen on ploughing but as I build sub-soilers I would say that.

Howard made several different duty versions of the rotovator, seeing that there are about 4 to 5 different sizes of blades available. Also supprising how cheap the blades are! No excuse to run with broken or missing blades, but its a machine pulled out of the nettles and used evry few years.

Back in my former life in UK had both a Howard S-100 and later the heavy duty M-100, mainly used at that time on incorporating chopped straw, worked over many thousands of acres with no down time...very well made.
