Why.....in this day and age?

[AC man]

Yea i dont get those machines either
And here in the swamp they are packing wet ground to much
Big power heavy on the fuel , i dont understand ?
Will be lots for sale soon

I am in a dryer area and I definitely don’t get those machines either. A few in the area and I have seen the damage they do. GOOD LUCK on trying to sell one for a descent price, will be cents on the dollar!

That's one way to spread clubroot

Fire today looks like a power line caused. Got a old yard south of us.

Bert’s yard?

Verticle discs have been a boon on some land that we had to clean up. Pot holes mit de cat tales- gone.

Fusarium, aphanomyces, and who knows what else.

Luckily they haven't found clubroot here "yet".


I've seen this shit first hand at home years ago, you can hardly wait for the hurricane to subside at the end of the day.
All it needs is a start and the abrasion just keeps working on areas that haven't started yet.

We have got some of this stuff... Last year our lentils were a disaster wind, rain, hail had them glued to the ground. As an emergency measure we worked standing lentils with a Protill last so it would be ready to seed this spring. Some of these windy dry days a painful reminder why we don't till. If i had to do it over again i probably would, as there were not many good options. As for a regular farming practice i don't get it. Cant get something growing on that stuff fast enough.

Every machine has a place. Especially some of the wetter areas in western Canada. Works good here on pea and soybean stubble. We even use it on our wheat stubble if planting Canola the next year. Some years it never moves but handy to have some years when too wet. From Farmas comments on farming in the ghetto I think that machine shud stay in the yard. The dealers yard!
