Mornin' Guys, Gonna be a darned busy week around here. I know, I know; be careful what ya wish for. :>( Anyhoo, I have to redo an old alfalfa field because the grasses have pretty much taken the thing over and I have to keep it in alfalfa this year to keep my rotation correct. Also, I gotta get it done this week, because the alfalfa is really coming on fast. I was told it is in it's fourth year, which in all reality probably translates into about 7 or 8 years, if the truth be known. Soil here is a very heavy black loam and clay mix. Neighbor told me yesterday that he uses a springtooth one time at an angle and then the second time following the direction that the swather will travel. That way, the swather will have less chance of plugging. I'm settin' here wondering if I can't just springtooth it fairly deep once and then just roll my old packer over the field to break up any clods that are gonna be wanting to plug the sickel. Does that sound like a plan? Allan
