[QUOTE="LocustDaleCattleCompany, post: 1678915, member: 24074"] Well I went back out in the one pasture today and took a look around. Myself and the gentleman that works for me both walked the two sides for a while and really couldn’t tell much difference in the two. We looked at lower spots, sloped spots, areas with heavier hay residue, looked for visible signs of extra growth where cow patties had been and honestly I couldn’t tell a difference. The bare areas were relatively the same side to side as far as grass or weed regrowth. I’m pro dragging so this was a little of a surprise to me. I wasn’t looking for the untouched side to prevail but since I didn’t have to do anything to it to look the way it did it wins in my book. Now I’m going to have to decide to sell my carted chain harrow or not because I’m not seeing the benefit for my operation. On top of not seeing a discernible difference we didn’t make time and only drug 10% of our pastures this Spring.
