Hi all. I am looking to renovate my pasture; there's too much thatch and moss and now in the middle of winter it looks quite brown whereas my neighbour, who makes hay every year, has a pasture of lush green grass.
I was thinking of mowing it as low as possible and then running a chain harrow over it several times to break up the thatch, however I'm not sure what size harrow my tractor can pull. I have a B7000 which is 17 hp and a mechanical transmission. There's what appears to be a 4' x 8' harrow on Craigslist right now, but I think it may be a bit too much.
Anyone have experience with chain harrows on a similar size tractor to mine?
