Rut repair

Either a rear blade or LPGS with shanks. I prefer the LPGS with shanks. Chew it up - level/smooth it out. Compact with your tractor when all is smooth.

In my experience with my red clay here in East Texas, I always have to add a bucket, or several buckets of dirt to the ruts to make them go away. If you just work with what you have, it will always be a low area, and hold moisture that will lead to more rutting if you go through there again.

I dump the dirt, back drag it, drive over it again and again, back drag is some more in the other direction, and drive over it again and again, until it is solid.

I do the same thing when I remove a stump too.

Some of the logs were too heavy and long for the 2 horse teams and with a 4 team it was narrow in places. Also the horses got tired as it was hilly and I was able to help out and gave them some rest.
