[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1540199, member: 1715"] Smooth is relative. Sounds like yours is really rough. I have seen folks try making many (five or more) passes with a tandem disk. Looked OK from the road. Need a heavy disk but then you may be creating a compressed "hardpan" layer. Can you custom hire moldboard plowing? Could be better and cheaper than many many disk passes. Conventional double disk drill down pressure is very low. So if you are doing shallow tillage before drilling grain - - the soil moisture is key. You may need to drill the same day you till (before the soil dries out), go slow (to minimize bouncing), and still leave an open seed trench in places. Your conventional drilling window will be small and your seed depth will be variable. Can you rent a no till drill? [/QUOTE]
