I'm one of those "city folks" who is moving out to the country so I'm ready for your "comments" , but first I have a question pertaining to landscaping . The acreage we've purchased was/is pasture and I want to seed 1.5 - 2 ac with grass for a yard , my question is.....will a 6' cultivator behind my 8N be aggressive enough to tear through the hard packed pasture to get down to the soil or is there a better way , short of plowing & discing?
thanks in advance

Rent a moderen utility tractor, and land scape attatchments and you will have a beautiful job finished in three hours. That is if you want a (lawn quality) result.
Other wise you can plow, disc, and cultipac, and get about the same results, but you will be messing with it for a couple days.

Could try Frost Seeding it. (Do a search for frost seeding), the snow must be gone and the ground still frozen, done by early spring, might get a 50-70 percent success rate with clover. Doing some myself soon with Medium Red Clover and Birdsfoot Trefoil. Or Hire someone with an Overseeder. Good luck.

Would second what DallasGa said. I'm the same as you. Bought a place with 3 acres a couple a years ago. Bush Hogged it off with the 9N and have kept it down with a finish mower. Boy that Woods and the "N" have it lookin fantastic. The weeds were shoulder hi when I started over most of the property. Now, under the dug out apple trees, all I haveta worry about is apple cores.

Hi Noobie:

Best I can say is to call your local agricultural agent. He?She will meet you at the property site. They can advise you best.

Ha 123, A pasture is no more than an over grown lawn. If you mow it low and regularly, you shouldn't need to start over. I have 7 ac. of pasture that look like a jungle in Oct. and now look like a golf course over seeded with winter rye, the result of a good winter mowing. If the surface is rough though your disc should have no trouble knoking down the high spots.
