vertical tillage , high speed discs , mud , ruts, etc ?

We use the Gates coulter harrow now on 80% of our acres in the fall .
Very happy with the job it does after all crops . Very versatile unit . When wet we run the coulters deeper and back off on the harrows . When dryer I run the coulters shallower and use the harrows more aggressive.
Covers acres fast . We pull at 13-14 mph and can cover about 100 AC/hr.
To fill ruts though you have to hit those areas twice .

The Gumbo is done early in the season and as the fall goes we move north to Clay loam. It opens the ground up freeze drys a bit and then next spring when the sun finally comes out it drys quick. If you have to go again in spring you do in mornings and seed in after noons.

My Kelley disc is a good all round machine! I'm still going but my days are counting down!

Looks like the Kelly is doing a nice job. How deep is the field being worked? We have been unfortunate with the rain that the only tractors in the field here are for pulling grain carts or combines out.

SF3 - Did your fall tillage last fall work out well this year? You also burnt some stubbles. Were those crops ok?

Yea they were higher yields than fields I didn't work! Cleaner in spring and crop seems to take off faster because ground is black. Also catch less snow and we don't need any more water! Will try to get at least over 1/3 acres before freeze up if can each year till this shit ends!
