It was 41 F here this morning. The Bowie airport reported 45 F at 7:30, but it seems I'm always a bit cooler than there. I got a frantic call from my new neighbor who built a house on my old property. He said it looking like a big brush fire was burning on the back part of my place. I stepped out on the deck and didn't see or smell smoke, so I walked through the dew-wet grass to the top of the hill and looked to the backside of my place. Sure enough, it looked like smoke as I laughed to myself. It was fog rising up off our lake.:laughing: The neighbor has a perfect view across the valley, but can't see the surface of the water for the trees. It just looked like smoke to him. As the weather cools, he'll get plenty of chances to see that. Some mornings the fog extends all in the valleys and gullies around here an gives an eerie, but beautiful view.
FG, why would you want a spring-tooth over a normal disk harrow? Are you hoping to pull the clumps of KR bluestem up by the roots? I have a couple of old horse-drawn spring-tooth sections that are pretty ragged, but work great to smooth fill soil. If I used them much, I'd probably want to put a spreader bar on the front and maybe make them more rugged in places. A horse-drawn style spring-tooth is really not going to hold up for long behind a tractor. My dad had three sections and gave one to my uncle to use behind his mule. When my dad passed, I inherited these two sections. The only mule I've used them behind is my Kawasaki Mule. I would think you'd want a spring-tooth designed for a 3PH. I can see where they would be very expensive if you were lucky enough to even find one. The disc-harrow has about completely replaced these.
