Looks great! Ready to grow. :thumbsup:
I've gotten lazy in the past about packing/not packing and have even used my 3-wheeler to pack the field. One year, I used my JD110TLB with the hoe off and the loader bucket off and packed a small field that I had rototilled and planted.
The 110 has R4 tires so, they're flatter and not so aggressive and I figured the tractor wouldn't compact things too awful bad... Well, long story - short; got a great stand, good germination - darn horses pocked it up, pulled up the grass, etc. etc. when I turned them into it late in the fall!
So, the next Spring I hand filled in the holes and raked and replanted and rolled the crap outta it with that HEAVY roller. That fall; after the first killing frost - the grass did just fine with the horses on it.
