A cultimulcher will do it and your tractor should be able to pull a 10 or 12 footer okay. The key thing is to hit it when the moisture is just right. You almost gotta go out in the field and bust up some clods by hand to see how much moisture remains in them. Don't risk getting on the field when it's too wet, it's better to have to go over it twice when it's dry than pack it down when it's too wet. Setting the teeth is kinda critical, you'll hafta experiment a little. Sometimes a disk followed by a cultipacker will do the job....but beware...disks pack the soil more than you realize.....I've had some bad experiences with fields I disked too much. Ever try to pull a Graham-Hoeme plow on packed wheat stubble/quackgrass red clay sod with a Super M? I packed it with a disk prepping for the wheat and couldn't plow it for soybeans after I combined the wheat off. Horrible job trying to rip it up again, finally had a guy rip it up the next spring with a 4020 and a 7 shank Glencoe soil saver. It grew some mighty corn but I had a small fortune in the corn crop, spray and cultivating.....corn went down to 2 bucks that year (1982) Thanks Jimmy, you misfit in the White House. Chance to rant...,.sorry.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. 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.
