We have always had better luck with a clean seed bed than trying to notill alfalfa. But then again we don't have enough flat well drained land. My FIL told me to burn it off with roundup, but we are looking to get certified organic at some point. So, that wasn't an option. There's a good stand of grass already, and I'm shooting for an alfalfa/grass mix. So, this was the best option, save working up the entire field and starting over from scratch (which I don't have the equipment to do that work yet anyhow). |

Sorry if that's a dumb question. I've just never seen anybody no-til alfalfa into existing grass. Very interested in how you do, and a big  toast to you for the work it takes to get certified organic. That's a lot of hoops to jump through.

You might get a mop if the grass starts to get ahead of the alfalfa. You will probably need to reseed this fall and next spring. It's a lot of work getting legumes to mix well with grass. I went over the field twice, so the openers on the planter "cut" the grass up pretty good. I'm hoping that will help give the alfalfa a chance. |

All the people I know drilled it into a warm season grass to have less competition. Be careful not to get mold going on your horse hay. It's hard to get grass dry enough to keep the leafs from shattering on the alfalfa. But if it's going for cattle silage wrap it and go you won't be able to beat it for a ration base. |

The wife spent a week at her dads helping him with calving and running the fertilizer tender in the fields, and brought home an old 6ft rear blade that has been sitting in the trees at the farm forever. He remembers using it as a kid, and is in his mid 50's now, so it's been around a while. But it is certainly built a lot heavier than the ones you can buy nowadays, and has a custom rock box for extra weight.
Surprisingly it hooked right up to the quick hitch with no modifications. I'll get some new lower pins and put the bushings on when I finish working on it. 
Everything that should move is locked up with rust so it's soaking with liquid wrench right now. I'll clean it up with a wire wheel and give it a new coat of paint once I can get it apart.

I have been using an old pallet as a platform on my fork attachment but wanted something a little bigger and stronger to use for various projects.
Basically made a heavy duty pallet. I had my 16 gallon sprayer on it yesterday out spot spraying fire ants. The ants are really bad this year and I need to broadcast some bait but haven't had a chance yet. I have a nice spreader set up for bait made to go on the back of an ATV but I sold my four wheeler. 
I have the remains of an old sprayer that was made to go on the three point hitch. I plan to cut it up and fabricate some sort of mount for the spreader. Wish I had a welder but don't. Will have to figure out something using bolts.  Attached File Attached File |

Good looking tractor and really great looking property you have there. It has been pretty good and done a lot of work for me. We have enjoyed our property but damn it is a lot of work and this time of the year I always feel like I am way behind. So much rain in the last few weeks and it is really too wet to get a lot of things done. I need to do the yearly maintenance on the tractor, wife's car needs oil changed, fire ants are out of control, need to spray a bunch of round up on fence lines, need to finish repainting the barn.....
At least I did get most of the grass cut yesterday before getting another 1.5" of rain last night. We usually get a good dry spell during May so hopefully I will get caught up some. |
