What’s the best soil finisher on the market?

Question

We run ripper in fall and spring nh3 before planting. Looking for one pass with good leveling job

Answer

I would stick with a Deere or Case.  We run a landoll tilloll and it is a POS.  It does a great job making a seedbed but is built too weak and is a pain to get parts for.  I know of 2 other guys who have one as well and their service truck stays with it....

Answer

We use a JD 2310 Mulch Finisher. Works great for us.

Answer

Has anybody used the new deere 2660vt yet. Trying one on monday.

Answer

Case or Deere are the best built IMO.

Answer

I’ve seen guys really happy with either a Great Plains Turbo Max or a Kelly diamond harrow

Answer

We love our insite with a basket crumbler  or a roller behind it .

Answer

We run a Krause landsman very happy with the job it does.

Answer

We have a GP Turbo max and like the adjustable gangs, but just cannot get it to level well.  It looks good, but is rough to drive over.

Answer

Degelman protill(****** makes one in blue) is the best tillage tool I have ever owned. It is tough and fast.

Answer

I've notice some mentioning VT tools. I have a Krause Excelerator and really like it. The one thing I would mention is if you are ripping in the fall it has a tough time taking those ridges out. It looks smooth behind it but when I planted you could feel them underneath. I used a 730 C. Maybe the newer rippers it doesn't bother but something to consider. I no longer use a ripper and only use the VT in stalks if need to and it does make a smooth seedbed.

Answer

we rip it and hit with ****** excelerator and done

Answer

Degelman pro-till best piece of do it all tillage equipment available. Need the rubber roller on back

Answer

I'm a bit confused here.  Are you asking for primary tillage tool advice, or for advice on what to use following the nh3 application?  Cause ** and Case may make really good disk rippers, but I thought Case quit making soil finishers a long time ago, and the ones they did make weren't hardly worth the time spent hauling them to the scrap yard.  One of the neighbors uses a Krause Excelerator with a rolling basket in the spring on his ripped ground and it does an amazing job.  Just something else to consider.
