well john the farmer did actually but i've been harrowing away like agood thing over the last few days.
so we are going for what is large scale for us, a one acre field in a conventional way.
A used disc harrow costs about £700 so that wasen't an option now i've spent everything on the david brown now called david brogh or Brogh for short!
so i rigged meself up a custom made recycled and hand crafted harrow otherwise known as a big heavy thing to drag behind the tractor.
so what did i have around that i could use? well some telephone poles and some seatbelts we had found in a skip thinking they would come in useful one day as windbreaks or as it turns out harrow belts.
so brogh is a big help with this, and powered with biodiesel means it's much more pleasant to run. there's a bit less power on biodiesel but it doesn't make a big difference.
next step is to make/find a chain harrow and maybe rotavate before we sow linseed, oats, phacelia and rapeseed!
