Farmer Question. Rolling Rutted Field. How to fix?

submitted by FreeinTX to AskUpgoat 7 hoursMay 4, 2025 09:14:30 ago (+4/-0)     (AskUpgoat)

I have a field that's rutted up purdy good. I don't know what caused it. Hogs or the rain, but the ruts are kinda rolling. How do I level this field without adding topsoil? Is there a way? Have tractor. Many implements. Would get others if it seems like it'd work.

When there's thaw you can use a cambridge roll to flatten ruts.
Ploughing or cultivator?

A thaw? I'm in central Texas. I tried to disc up the rolls, not sure how much it helped, though.

The field was a former grass field runway for crop dusters. I'd like to recondition it back to that.

Disc it well, then drag it.

Edit: to drag it you can use an old bed spring as RMGoetbbels stated, or a lot of people will use chain link fence with weight on it, you can even use old tires to get it done.

I'll give that a shot.

Box scraper? Spike toothed harrow?

I considered my box scrapper.

The spike toothed harrow is a new one for me. Certainly, good potential.

Thanks

Go ask the fuckin rednecks. Its like owen bejewin "farming". He';s dumb af and hates rural whites so much that he refuses to learn from them, not that it matters because he's a scam. If you;'re goona live the redneck life then surround yourself with them and ask questions and learn from the best. I have yuppie transplants ask me shit all the time but I usually tell them that I hope they die.

Nigger, wut? I was asking for ideas. Not all of us, "rednecks," have to deal with this issue. I'm trying to recondition a runway, not plow a field.

Go ask the rednecks around you who do it, son. You're asking a bunch of born privileged dipshits/citytards and lazy fucks on the internet how to do it. Its embarrassing. You were told in the comment by Questionable2 how to do it.
