That is so funny :laughing: I had to do the same thing you did with the goat heads, after it rained I would go out with a trash can, dust pan, and knee pads, pull the goat head plant out by hand then sweep all the stickers from under the plant, and I did this with five acres. I could not believe how many stickers were under each plant that I pulled up, thousands. I had to change all my tires to the thickest ply I could find because of flats.
You are correct about mowing foxtails close to the ground, all they do is seed close to the ground.
I was looking at spring tooth harrows like the one Jeff9366 posted but don't see any small ones with wheels like you have. My tractor has 32hp. and the rear tires are loaded with rim guard.
How do I work a slope safely, can I use a spring tooth harrow on a slope, or do I risk a mud slide when winter hits.View attachment 508966View attachment 508967
Thanks for all the great ideas guys. Really helping a lot.:thumbsup:
No kidding here; in some areas where they were real thick, we took the shop vac out and sucked up all the seed/goatheads. I'm sure the neighbors thought I'd lost my mind. :confused3: Goatheads are the most evil plant in the world.:banghead:
