Guys,
First of all, thank you to the many of you that have responded to all my posts over these last few years.
Here is what I have to do. I have a new house (and I can't wait to post a pic of it!!!!) with about 2 (almost flat) acres of field grasses, thorns and fire ants, and super packed South Carolina red clay. I will buy a small rotary cutter to take care of the high stuff but after running over the clay with my tiller the other week, I'm wondering if I need to crack it loose before launching a full scale attack and trying to get a "yard" look. So, will a box blade with the teeth turned down do this well enough? Or would a middle buster drug back and forth be better? I'm planning on getting a box blade to grade it out. I just don't want to "blow up" my tiller on this clay. Also, how deep should I till? thanks once again, brett w
