I have a couple of old fields that are growing up in spruce trees (up to about 6 or 8 in dia). Last fall I pushed over and uprooted most of the trees in one of the fields, using my Kioti DK45S bucket. With the trees mostly gone, this is just pasture grasses...with remnant roots (not stumps) here and there.
Now I'm getting complaints from my daughter and wife about the unsafe footing for their horses because of all the divots in the field where the tree roots used to be. If I could find a good source of soil, I could fill/smooth each divot individually, or I could just tear up the whole field and smooth it.
If I went for the latter approach, what sort of equipment would I need? I have a heavy 12 ft. chain harrow, but this wouldn't do much more than dethatch on the undisturbed turf.
Any advice?
