On relatively stiff land , will raking do any good.

Last 2 years its been very dry so the stubble rake does very little actual soil movement, but for us, until we got a new combine with a chaff spreader last year, it still did a good job of moving and spreading trash about which will reduce slug populations. We have now got a cheap set of discs to run over the ground if its dry in the summer to move the ground a little bit, once that first pass has been done following passes with the stubble rake into slightly moved ground a few weeks later should result in better weed chits and great slug control.On relatively stiff land , will raking do any good.

Agree, total balls of a machine, maybe ok for moving chopped straw around but after that a waste of time and money imoDon’t waste your time or money
No, no no and no , sorry but that’s 4 no’sOn relatively stiff land , will raking do any good.

If there’s no wearing parts what touches the ground .!!!!!!I’ve been using a Sumo strake for 4yrs on medium loam ground and I get on really well with it. You don’t want to bury any weed seeds just a slight mix of soil is better than burying seeds a couple of inches. It’s about using it right , cheap machine to run no wearing parts and very low power requirement.
Could agree more. Nothing beats rolls for getting stuff to growLast season was the first season of using them but I was pleased with my new ring rolls and paddles, as said, I believe you need a roll to get the best out of a stale seedbed.
If spreading chaff before drilling rape, I actually find grass harrows do a better job.
They must be called miracle harrowingIf there’s no wearing parts what touches the ground .!!!!!!

Yep, works OK, but obviously needs to be dry, nice work rate with a 8m set of rollsAnybody using rollers with paddles straking the ground to get a weed chit in stubbles? Just bung up with straw?
Thanks for that, I'm 5 years into min till and fighting like hell with amg, torn between front rake and the rollers i already have behind.... Or i really like the look of those sumo strakes, bit more than a rake by the look of them... Or the rollers with paddle idea, do any makers make paddle points with the chit job in mind? Strikes me that the paddle springs are nice and strong, more aggressive than a rakeYep, works OK, but obviously needs to be dry, nice work rate with a 8m set of rolls
