Hard Top
Which tractor attachment for breaking up hard pan/top soil?
I have 5 acres of land for my horses and a John Deere compact tractor. I am not getting very much grass anymore (all weeds) and when preparing a small area for a garden I noticed that most of the pasture has a hard top layer about 8 inches think of compacted dirt and grass roots. Most of the water is just running off and the weeds are taking over. Do I need a subsoiler? Or a ripper? What about a box scraper with tines on the front? What would work best for this?
The best : D-8 caterpillar with a ripper shank
Second best : plow it
Third best : disc it
A box scraper with tines is really not going to go deep enough, but guess it is better than nothing.
Spreading gypsum will help water percolation and keep the soil from compacting
