[QUOTE="novatech, post: 936046, member: 5494"] Once every couple of years I run a single deep shank around the fence lines and wooded areas adjoining hay fields. I have taken back 30 feet or more for hay production. 30 ft X over a mile is a lot of hay and a heck of a lot of wasted fertilizer. By the way it takes a hundred horse tractor to pull the single shank deep enough to do any good in our clay soils. Even then I sometimes have to go over them twice. If you stay at the drip line of the tree it is likely no harm would come to them. You a generally only cutting on one side of a tree unless it is a fence line cutting on both sides. I wouldn't do it in a drought though. [/QUOTE]
