pends on the type of soil.. if you have clay or hard packed, renovators will allow water penatration and help a bunch.. if you have sandy loam or surgar sand, your wasting your time and money.
If you have a planted coastal field or kline field a renavator will go through and leave the field clean and flat, perfect for haying.
if you have a native field, a sub soiler will not hurt before you plant coastal, kline, world feeder, or whatever... but you would disc the field back to a flat condition before you sprig or plant.
after its planted, again a renovator will leave it flat and clean for haying. a subsoil will leave it full of rolls, hills and valleys unless you disc it out.
I have done it both ways pending on what kind of field it is.., whats planted, how much clay or hard pack.
sub soiling is almost as good a putting out fertilizer on an old barren,hard-packed field.
renovating early spring, adds deep moisture for grazing for 30 days longer in the summer during dry years. If you get lots of rain in the summer, renovating is not recommended or needed.
