Jeffersonville, OH | Interesting reading on this post, but you all disappointed me...
No one said his username fits!! LOL
Soils and crop practices are so different around the country, I always find it interesting in what gets used and works well in one part of the country versus another, or what FLAT doesn't work in one place that is widely used others.
We pull an 8 bar spike harrow in some conditions behind our soil finisher and Sunflower 6630 and we get lots of funny looks from the neighbors who all pull nothing, or maybe a double basket...but the 3 or 4 years after we tiled it sure seemed to help level things up better than before we got it and did some tiling.
I have wondered a similar thing as Thinkstoomuch about the western heavy harrow style tools to pull after a fall chisel to level things up without a field cultivator in the spring. Some of these chisels leave things pretty nice, especially after a decent winter, and just a heavy harrow could make a pretty nice seedbed and not use tons of fuel doing it.
But, it would probably work with the weather about 1 year in 5...
