Have you considered a vertical tillage tool? We started running one this spring. It's only small grains we're doing here but if you hit it fairly early while there's still some moisture it will break up stubble in one pass and plant. I didn't see any difference in yield between that and fields that were disced this year... The main advantage I see is that you can cover twice the land for the same horse power because you're running nearly twice as fast as with a disc, it doesn't object to rock... and it does an excellent job of leveling. We were running a Salford RTS 1100 that has two gangs of wavy spring loaded coulters (1.75" and 1.5") followed by a rod harrow and a crumbler on back. It just does shallow tillage, breaks the crust, breaks down, spreads and slightly incorporates the trash... and basically leaves the ground red enough to start drying. It's not for every situation... but it sure makes me hate the thought of dragging a disc around anymore.
