Did a bit of subsoiling today.
Soil nice and dry at depth so thought it would be a good opportunity to loosen up some rutted tramlines and compacted field edges.
Also been doing some land drainage so some trafficked headlands needed a bit of loosening.
Have this old Blench subsoiler, older than myself but does a good job.
Worked at 13-14".
To my surprise, the rutted tramlines didn't need a whole pile of pull where as some of the field entrances etc really had the Deere scrambling for grip.
Also chopped up the rape straw after the rape trials with the old Kidd straw chopper pictured below (trials combine doesn't have a chopper).
