Time To Laser!

I farm the same crops in California. It’s nice to see someone who farms more or less the same way we do. I’ve learned a lot about making hay from you. Thank you Trevor. Keep up God’s work and good luck!

Discing will always make clods and turn a field into a rock garden if its too wet. You might try running a cultipacker after discing. One that has two rows (front and back) to break down the clods. We fight that here in Iowa because you're trying to plant early in the spring when the ground is wet. Then it warms up while you're working the ground, and you're drying it out the more you work it. Then you end up with clods. A cultipacker will break them down and help level the ground.

Just lasered a field that was super hard ground. Definitely took a few more passes and diesel to get it done. Field looks good!

Trevor: I'm sorry I didn't film tilage this time. Me in my head immediately after: Shame Shame Shame Shame as a bell rings in the back ground. 😆 🤣 😂

The benefit of going to GPS that I could see is after you go down each check in circles, you could then come back a second time and travel down each check the direction that the water flows and grade out those circle humps and save a pass with using the tri-plane / land-plane if i understand how the system works. We still have the old system and now use SDI so take this for what it is worth.

Yeah, you could do that with GPS, I think. I’m not 100% sure. We already own the plane, so it’s easy for us to continue. We wouldn’t be burning any more or less fuel.

💪🇺🇸😎👍Good job DigT

What about running one of those big rollers? Would that break down the clumps or at least squish them down into the ground?

Disking in the same exact direction of the ripper…. Not how I’d do it.. In the valley of the PNW we use what is known as a Dixon Harrow or Heavy Harrows to flatten , level and tighten up the soil profile before planting our Grass seed crop. The Dixon will reduce the clods to nothing with two rows of teeth down on the front two bars and the rest of the bars smooth, we pull a smooth water filled roller behind that’s two feet wider to knock down any ridges.. Leaves the field flat & tight for the swathers over the three to five year crop cycle..

I like it!

This looks so nice. We just lazered as well but we keep running into a small problem. Our relativly sandier soils just dont get firm enough after a couple of passes from the lazer, they seem too fluffy for a seedbed. If any one can give advice, thanks in advance 😂

Work your ground when it has a bit more moisture and also add a ring roller if possible.
