I know that no till was started to combat soil erosion and haven't started doing it yet due to cost (more equipment) which with just getting started is a concern. So the big question is why is it so popular and long term effects.
After talking to some local guys I always hear about taking care of the soil but everyone I've talked to adds that it save money by not making as many trip across a field. But this spring my FIL told me I could plant a few acres he has been renting out. He was raised on a farm and wasn't happy with his renter doing no till. He believes the old ways are better. The field is only about 8 acres. I has been no tilled for about 3 years, sandy loam. It was really tuff to plow and the former tenant has bigger equipment. So whats the deal here? Is it really that good? Should a guy do it say one year and not the next to avoid soil compaction? I'm just learing here so any advice is welcome.

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
