It always amazes me why the rocks never end. You can have a 200 year old field that still has rocks in it. You would think at some point the frost would run out of rocks to push to the surface.
We bought this property 34 years ago and it was in hay. We were told it had been in corn like the next 3 fields next to us. We rotated hay and pasture on it for 25 years. Now a neighbor is cutting the hay.
I wanted to improve some areas and eventually restore ground to level over sunken drain tile lines.
So this was trial work. I couldn't borrow discs from anyone.
I borrowed IH 3 bottom 12" plows which worked well with the M6800 and they went down 8-10".
I wonder how much rock was picked previously ?
