[QUOTE="Spud, post: 8496467, member: 78"] Good luck. If you're able to power harrow straight in it's kind land indeed. As power harrow blades wear, they get shorter, which reduces clearance for soil to pass through, as the trough is essentially lower to the ground to maintain working depth. For me your system is a long way from weather proof - as soon as it rains you're stopped, I couldn't entertain bare stubble over winter either, need a cc on it, which would vastly reduce the need for cultivation anyway. ime you have to do serious acres with a cultivator to spend as much on wearing metal as a bedtiller or power harrow. I don't like any form of rotary cultivation pre potatoes if I can help it, it's far too easy to create a pan, but sometimes it's necessary I'll admit. Ten years ago we used to ridge up with a tiller. Far too expensive and soil destructive to tolerate now. [/QUOTE]
