I've got a 10 acre pasture that has never been worked. It needs to be level enough to hay- it was hayed once and that farmer didn't come back as it was hard on his equipment. It also will be rotationally grazed.
Overall it is flatland, but quite uneven/bumpy as you drive across it. When the last ditch was dug the soil was "spread out" in a swath, probably 2-3' deep, and maybe 20' wide, the length of the ditch. That needs to be spread out level with the land.
It is flood plain, it's silty peat, no rocks/stumps etc. But it is a generally boggy field that is only dry mid summer. The pasture stays green all summer, water table is high.
Water pools after rainfalls due to compaction, and being flat overall.
The field needs sub-soiling and is ditched on all sides. I have a sub-soiler.
I have a 50 HP Kubota MX5100. I really don't know what attachment I need for this project. Finding farmers with larger tractors available for hire hasn't worked- looks like I need to do this myself.
Any ideas? Is this something I can do? Thanks!
