[QUOTE="blackbob, post: 2481528, member: 344"] [USER=2813]@Selectamatic[/USER] , [USER=2813]@Selectamatic[/USER] , [USER=2813]@Selectamatic[/USER] :rolleyes: Do they still use the term 'recreational tillage'? Meaning doing things because they are pleasurable or look good, not to help the crops.. You made a nice job of ploughing that nice light soil - then went trampling over it with that big tractor and roller:facepalm: Wouldn't be so bad if you had used that little 880:love::facepalm: And why didn't you use that for sowing, instead of that one with those wheel weights on:facepalm: in the rain:facepalm: And why did you feel the need to rotavate the tattie land, with a tractor with wheel weights [I]and loader/fork:facepalm:[/I] when it looks a nice tilth already (guess power-harrowed?)(y) It's always been a hobby-horse of mine, to try to minimise compaction, using the lightest tractor with the biggest wheels or duals, and avoiding lugging any un-necessary iron around on soft seed-beds. You have perfectly illustrated the effects of compaction, more clearly than I would have expected, to be honest. We can all learn:) [/QUOTE]
