[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 751087, member: 8973"] SRBeef I move the cattle daily and I ride the 4 wheeler to get to the paddocks. I do not distribute manure with anything other than the tractor and a conventional drag harrow. The chain harrows do look good at the site referenced. As you stated the best thing is to stay off the pastures when it is wet. Yesterday I took a couple of pics when I moved the herd that IMO demonstrate what the difference is between a harrowed paddock and a non harrowed one. One has had the manure dispersed and the other one did not get harrowed due to the soil being too wet to get on. These two plots are two long rectangular paddocks that are side by side. I stood in the center and took both shots. Harrowed paddock with uniform grazing....this was grazed during and after a heavy rain resulting in some pugging [img]http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i237/agmantoo/IMG00163-20100410-1624.jpg[/img] Non Harrowed with excessive ungrazed piles [img]http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i237/agmantoo/IMG00161-20100410-1623.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
