Ed found a good 1980s vintage John Deere 4850 tractor. The hay fields gave been compacted with years of heavy equipment running across them. He’s got some work to do breaking up the hardpan with a chisel plow. 200 horsepower will help get the plow through the soil.
We are working on a new field.
It was full of clover, weeds and trees. We could go around big trees, but we wanted to shred or mulch everything else. Ed rented a skid steer with a mulching attachment that would mow through the little clumps of Senna bean trees. If he left any stumps they would pop equipment tires so he needed to grind them down level with the ground.
Our best wishes for a wonderful spring weekend. We hope the Easter Bunny brings you warm weather and sunshine!
