wow! FANTASTIC guys!!!! :) This feild is ROUGH and for almost 15 acres. I beleive it was a cane feild at one time, that or soybean. Either way there are some hellacious rows and it's ridiculous trying to drive my truck across the feild. The rows aren't sharp but have indeed leveled out from time. I am still left with 15" rows standing 5" high or higher in some parts. There is a slight slope to my place but only toward the back and sides and that drains into a little bayou that borders me. This is where I'm fearful of losing my topsoil. My plan was to shred/mow with one M and have my little brother follow me in the other with the discs. This would compost some of the grass I'd be cutting by working it back in and hopefully seeding at the same time. Spreading seed while I'm doing this as mentioned above is a GREAT idea although I have no seeder. Is there a homemade unit I can make? I could possibly take a few of those home walk behind spreaders and rig them to pull behind the discs. I could even make a frame to hang a 5 gallon bucket of seed and use PVC and some smooth flexible tubing to pipe the seed into each hopper. Might be a good rig perhaps????? Either way, if I can do all of this in one sweep then I'd prefer it. For everyones info, I have a combination of St Augustine and Bermuda in one and two acre chuinks all around the place. I have 23 acres total and I'm in Branch, Louisiana, in Acadia parish (zip code 70516). And yep Andy...I thought for sure I posted this question earlier but I couldn't find it for some reason????? I am at the computer off and on but I always do come back and check the responses and comment when I'm back online. I can't figure out where the other one went though? :-/ I'll have to scoot until tommorrow afternoon so be assured that I will be checking back to this! :)
