Question
Hi Richard,
I am new to land prep with tractors. Just got a new one. So many different implements. What is one of the best type of implements to use to knock down weeds and smoothe out the soil for a park like or other appearance? Disc harrow? If so, what type? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Answer
You did not state what size of tractor you have. I would hope it would be big enough to run a rototiller, they come in different sizes. You can rototill one way and then again at a ninety degree angle. You can do this as many times as you need to get the appearance you want.
Good luck,
Richard
