Smoothing out my rough pasture

   / Smoothing out my rough pasture #11  
I use a heavy 12ft drag you can turn it over several different ways to get a more aggressive side or less. I have had wild hog problems and found if I run the 74in Tiller across the fast and not deep to bust up the grass clods the drag is able to bust it up alot better. This photo is last year when we hadnt had any rain for over 100 days I went in with just the drag on the hog roots and gopher mounds on the flat side of drag...

Yeah all I had there at the time was the open cab tractor and it was way to dusty out there,so the dodge filled in:D

Thanks for all the replies. I think I will see if I can get my hands on a disc and give that a try. I tried using my tiller and then my power rake but they both seem to get plugged up with all the grass.

A disc harrow with a solid/rigid upper frame with a heavy drag behind will do the trick. Ken Sweet

I use a section of chain link fence to smooth out soil I top dress on the lawn. Works well (and cheap) if your ruts/uneveness isn't too radical. If you are forced to do a complete till/regrade the soil is gonna bepretty soft to be able to use machinery to do the seeding or final finish.
