subsoiler on pasture

[david922]

Do any of you use a subsoiler on your pastures? If so how much will it help,thanks.

Around here it gives you alot of new rocks to pick up and fix sink holes with.
Actually some guys do it around here and swear by it but with all these rocks it's not feasible in most places.
Any alternative?

I ran one this year on some ground that had never been worked. Our ground responds very well if you use a subsoiler or renovator.

I believe it helps, here.

I decided I would try it once, because no one else I knew did. I made 1 pass across the pasture and 4 months later the grass on that strip was a foot taller than the rest of the pasture. I am leery of trying in on some places, for fear of starting a wash.

Make sure you go side to side on the hills not up and down.

This is something I did Three years ago.Then a drought hit,Killed Just about all the grass
every where I went. About 10" on each side of the cut.

Something to say about timing...maybe?

David,

If you are interested in subsoiling, you might read about the work of P.A. Yeomans.
