Rolling basket?

/ Rolling basket? #21  
We had a three, and two 2 inch pipes a little wider than the disc connected with chain and eye bolts that would drag behind the disc.
Just pick them up and lay on top of disc for transport
I have a heavy piece of old railroad iron that I use like that but it's no match for the way a rolling basket smooths the field.

How much land are you working. Not a lot I doubt with a 5 foot disc. What's the big deal with another pass? My second pass would without a doubt be with a tiller. Nothing smooths the ground or breaks up clods like a tiller.

With that size tractor I think you'll be stuck doing 2 passes with the different implements to get your desired results.

We till up probably 20 acres total. This is an ex-pasture, and the farmer disked it all after we bought it, so it was plenty bumpy at first. We've only had the place for 2 years, and it's smoothing out okay now.

The spike harrow I have, was assembled out of three (real old) horse drawn sections abandoned here. I've got a bunch of old iron/implements here, that survived the WWII scrap drives. They were left here and a 20" maple tree grew up through one section. I had to cut it apart with a cutoff tool, and left quite a bit of it in the tree... I'm pretty proud of the job i did to cut the savable parts and make two of them usable. It actually gets towed behind my Polaris Ranger. Yes, the drier (and the faster we go) the better.

I also have a 3 pt tiller. I was just exploring other options.

I wouldn't mind owning one

seems like it would take a lot of HP to pull both at the sane time.
