Rod: I like your I beam idea. I use to operate a heavy breaking offset disk behind a Deere forestry skidder. One of the provinces largest lowbush blueberry growers called, back about the time they were starting to level these fields for using harvesters.
He wanted us to disk his standing blueberries right after harvest, then he said I've got something for you to hook unto and do leveling. I didn't go myself, however when the operator got home, he told me of pulling this 20' long 18" web I beam crossways behind the skidder on the logging winch cable. He said they asked him to adjust the length of cable depending how well the I beam was cutting. My operator thought we should have one, never did do that little project.
Apparently it didn't do what they wanted on blueberries. I asked the son later, and he told me the I beam did excellent levelling, no question about that. They were hoping it would spread blueberry plants helping to fill in the field. The I beam actually did just the opposite, dumped all the blueberry plants in the hollows. So much for one of the old man's good ideas was all he could say. He figured it sat blueberry production on that field back 20 years.
