I've got a field that hasn't been touched in 10 years and the gopher mounds are horrible. Soil is sand. Some of the mounds are 2 feet high with grass grown over them now.
I was looking to rent a 10 foot disc. Someone said to use a disc set shallow to knock the mounds down and then I could drag the field.
I'm having trouble finding a disc to rent and purchasing is more than I want to spend. A tractor dealer has a rotary hoe for $400 and suggested it would work.
I'm interested in hearing thoughts and recommendations on how I can get these gopher mounds under control. I don't want to plow and have to replant the grass. My long term goal is to get to grass that I can mow with my 15 foot bat wing mower.
