[QUOTE="Ukjay, post: 7441765, member: 51920"] Our land isn't compacted much overall, some areas are where they shoved too many horses over, but that is being addressed alongside. So, trying to put this in writing is slightly difficult - but similar to a cow walking through your paddocks, the imprint left by the feet - deep hole, with significantly raised edges, creates a paddock that is a PITA to maintain etc, as when it is hard after drying out, you bounce around like a yo yo in the cab, the mower scalps the raised areas dulling the blades etc - and the harrows and sheep haven't worked as hoped for. So, we are trying to obviously flatten it out a bit to make it more level, and less likely to break your ankles when your walking the land, as the wife broke her ankle last year doing something else here, and we do not want a repeat of that where we can hopefully mitigate it.. Plus we need to treat some areas that were heavily poached to get back into condition, also look to sort out the weeds we see coming through now, so I'd rather not have to settle for the current state if I can improve it. Long term it needs the drains redoing, as it doesn't drain too well in places, so either old drains are blocked, or not enough - I do not know, as we can't find any outlets. [/QUOTE]
