Tilling

[JWR]

A middle-buster first, then almost any tiller. Set the tiller to cultivate fairly shallow.

You cannot pull a Disc Harrow heavy enough, fast enough, to effectively mix soil with a B2320 tractor. Also, a Disc Harrow will leave 3" - 4" furrows of its own, which have to be smoothed out.

You're probably right about the disc harrow leaving furrows of it's own. Another posting person mentioned picking up almost any old used hunk of inexpensive soil stirring equipment and dragging it over that 150' square patch. All Kreashorser is doing is preparing a seed bed for grass in a garden-sized spot. He has not said if he has long-term need for a rototiller. If not, I can't see buying one. Borrow one or get a cheaper tool for next to nothing.

Just an FYI.
If a disc harrow is used for final or near final seed bed prep, what we did was replace the extreme outboard disc on each side of the rear gangs with a smaller diameter disc than the rest.
