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.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

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 ?
I think that erosion plays a large part in rocks coming to the surface. For example; I have a stone fence around my property and the ground has risen to the top of the fence at the low point of the property despite no farming over the last 80+ years. On the opposite of the fence the farmed ground level is about six feet lower and the stone fence is being undermined. It is a slow process, but just look for those lone trees on a mound in the middle of a field and it will become clear what has happened.
Greased the loader, mowed 3 acres and my three times a week ritual of watering trees.
