As other have already stated, without some prior tillage that field cultivator would be nothing but a big dump rake. For several thousands of $'s you could buy a much newer field cultivator which can get thru without any previous tillage. Chopping stalks with a rotary mower or flail stalk chopper is not going to save the day. A rolling stalk chopper which isn't cheap either might work. I suggest a single or if necessary, a double pass with a disk in the fall (not in the spring) which should allow you to successfully use that cultivator. However be aware that 3pt cultivators are only considered scrap metal by serious farmers in this area. Depth control is a concern with a 3pt implement. A soil finisher which is basically a field cultivator with a set of front disks, will work good, but also probably a little pricy. Strip till is fine, but plan on spending a lot of $'s to buy or build a machine. Probably a better plan would be to hire someone to make the strips.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
