pea stubble

[furrowtickler]

heavy harrow in the fall when dry/hot. spring harrow - I agree with bucket - seed.

Some seedtools have better trash clearance than others. We have never had success harrowing pea stubble, in fact have never had the guts to finish a field because it made too much of a mess. If you have a seedtool with better trash clearance I would simply seed through it, it may look a little lumpy but if there is no ground with the straw it will settle over the growing season. If the vines are long but still anchored to the soil that is better than ripping it all off with a harrowing operation and making piles. Good luck.

Malta,

We have a 20 foot flail shredder that is used in row crop for chewing up corn stalks and material.

With a 100hp tractor you can easily shred any material well enough to seed into.

If you know anyone with a Shelborne stripper header... they will most likely have a mower shredder. Flail type shredder gets the closest to the ground.
In pea stubble after seeding we often go around and shred up the bunchy and bad looking areas... the shredder does a great job... and just costs a little time to end with a great looking job. If you look around... you might even find a shredder to rent.

A 520JD is what we use.

Kelly disc harrow. Works awsome.
