Rewind a bit to soil preparations first plowing the yard

Then get the fitters out


Nice and level

Spreading the bewitched grass seed


A month and half later note the roundup footprints on the bottom of the picture oops.

And after a long winter here we are just rolled and just waking up

Is the roller full of water? 3000lbs?

 

[GrassFarmer]

Half full so with the weight of the steel and water approx 2300lbs

 

[jessehurlburt]

It looks great. That seems like a ton of weight (literally) for rolling grass.. not worried about compaction from that?

 

[GrassFarmer]

Its 8ft wide and 30in around so the weight is spread out.

 

[Colonel K0rn]

You have appropriately earned your forum name. Impressive work, and with a roller like that, I'm certain you would have had a very level ground even after tilling everything up. Nice work.

Got the prodiamine 65 down today before the rain.

Serious equipment envy! That Ford looks great with the turf tires on it.

 

[GrassFarmer]

Ya the turf tires are way better, them cleats were not nice on the grass and they were only $400 on Craigslist for all 4 with rims

Look at all that Bewitched! Looking good! :thumbsup: I can't wait until you get the JD 3245C on it!

 

[GrassFarmer]

First mow with the 3245c

 

[Colonel K0rn]

Oh snap, I think Connor is going to be dreaming about this.

 

[SNOWBOB11]

Like a post card.

^ I was thinking like a John Deere ad.

Good looking mower there..

So you got it pretty flat with the cultivator?
I got a little more work in my back yard before i want to get rid of the field grass and go with a bit nicer grass. Been thinking about the best way to tackle about 2-1/2 acres. Was thinking about trying a smaller disc behind my 30hp tractor.

 

[Pete1313]

Oh man!! :yahoo: I want to mow with that thing so bad! Looks sweet! I bet you had a blast!

Everything work perfect in its maiden voyage?

 

[GrassFarmer]

Ballistic :mrgreen:
I did hit it with disk works well on plowed ground. We farm 1100 acres and disks are very poor at leveling ground, field culivators as in the second pic from the top do a very good job tho, the soil flows around all the teeth and fills the low spots.

 

[GrassFarmer]

Pete yes worked great and man it stripes good, i was thinking this will show them reel guys lol

 

[Pete1313]

This reel guy definitely approves of that rotary mower. :thumbsup:

That house with the wall of windows has an appeal too.
In many ways, that is a little slice of heaven: serious equipment, an open space for mowing and growing turf, a nice house, and no one in sight.
Do you even have neighbors? Man, that is appealing. It's like you are out there raising grass in your own world.

The only drawback is you don't get the ego thrill of a domination line.
