[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 837522, member: 7509"] In my thin rocky hillside soils "zone building" (= pulling a shank ripper very deep) is just not practical in any way shape or form regardless of how much hp and time you have available. I just started with the Aerway recently but so far I am impressed. It pokes holes and fractures soil about 8" deep and while it does loosen some rocks, mostly it just walks over them. I am also very reluctant to ever destroy sod and start over but like to interseed into the existing stand with a no till drill. jmho. Mow, fertilize, use the Aerway set at an aggressive angle, drag and no till drill a clover/pasture mix seems to work well into existing sod. Jim [/QUOTE]
