: : A little background:
: : Late last winter I moved in to a new house that sits in the middle of what used to be a farmers field. My guess is that this land had been abandoned for at least three or four years. I assume this because of the growth of very small trees and the height of the underbrush. The last thing that was done to it was that it was plowed over in several different directions. This left several rutts of varing size all makeing it very tricky to walk over unless you like a twisted ankle or a or a popped knee. My origional thought was I would purchase a tractor, plow and disk turn the ground under with the plow break it up with the disk and continue to flatten it out with an old box spring. When this was done I'd seed it with grass purchase a woods mower for the tractor and live happily ever after mowing my oversized yard. It all seemed so simple. Now I find there are several different type of plows, several different types of disks and combinations of both.
: : My question:
: : What do I need???
: : I hope I havent put the cart before the horse but I have already purchased the tractor, a Farmall Super A. As you may be able to tell I do not have any kind of farming background.
After you get the plowing, and disc harrowing completed. If it breaks up and is sandy enough soil the best SMOOTHER OUTER as my granddaughter calls it is two railroad ties, spiked in tandem, about 5-6 ft apart with 2x6's and braced, tie a chain on each end and get it centered on your tractor tow bar. Hey, you're in business. Your seed bed will be smooth enough to make a putting green out of.
