If you don't use herbicides its very hard to tackle weeds without moldboard ploughing because all other tillage leaves weeds on top. People talk about cultivating, harrows etc but they must live in drier areas because here if you don't bury it or remove it or kill it with herbicide it stays growing here.
Moldboard and rocks don't get along. I just plowed a bunch with a spring trip auto reset plow and broke shares and points, and job was terrible as it kept getting knocked out of the ground. While discing, I've picked almost 100 bucket loads of rock off the 10 acres and hauled dozens of the big monsters away on forks. Its down to maybe 20 buckets left.
I put the c-tine drag harrow on with the teeth set 1" below the skids to level with, promptly brought up hundreds more basketball size rocks and kept plugging the harrow with them.
I'll have another 20 hours rock picking left to finish the field at least. Also holed a newish Firestone 14.9x24 front tire on a pointy rock.
There is a little area near the bottom that I didn't plow but it got sprayed off, after 2 or 3 disc passes it looked closer to ready for planting than the rest that was plowed so that is what I'm doing next year.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
