    . Good deal, but I was really just saying more Radar as, in general, we could all use more Radar in our lives. Post on sir

                  Do you do anything about hard panning?
                  I been planting these places for 6 years, I plant turnips and Daikon radishes every fall to help keep from hard panning.

                  I have one field in the creek bottom that needs a chisel plow run thru it, it has a hard pan about 4 inches deep.

                      Dang that looks good. I’m giving food plots a try for the first time this year. Finished with the disc today. Still waiting on soil sample results. Hope to get things rolling in a few weeks. I’m just planting 1 acre for now. Depending on results, I may move it up to 2 or 3 for the fall.

                        Might get 40 degrees here by morning, then gets warm again. Sure need rain.

                          Looks like a good start.

                            Thanks! 1 acre of virgin ground takes some time with a SXS and a 52” disc lol I’ve got about 6 hours in that 1 acre.


                            This was after about 2 hours.

                              Covered and packed seed beds.
                              Radar, do those tires have wheels in them, or, are they just loose tires with a piece of pipe thru them. Kinda interesting looking. Might have to make something like that. I have maybe 2 acres that’s plantable, and have never planted all of that. Last fall, I just drove the Ezgo over all the seed to pack it in a little.

                                16" tires that are on a 16" pipe with a 2" axle in pillow block bearings. I wanted a cultipacker but my soil is sandy loam and the cultipacker would push up the dirt and not roll on top of it. The tire roller does a good job of packing the seed and dirt.

                                These old tire rollers were fairly common in Wilson county years ago.
