    I especially enjoyed the sound of the engine on your tractor. My dad had a 1952 Ford 8N and there were times when I was twelve years old while spending the summer with him. I helped find firewood. There were times he would let back the tractor up to a fallen tree, hook it up and pull it up to the barn where he would cut them up and split the logs.

    I remember baling with one of those back in my younger days. We worked on it more than using it. My Dad would not give up on it. Finally I said I would not help anymore if We didn't get a new baler. We purchased a new JD 336 with a thrower. Those old 77's were the cat's meow back when they were new. They just had too many working parts to wear out.

    Couldn't you save that straw for the animals and just use your grass clippings from the lawn mower to put around the strawberries? The grass clippings are already cut up really tiny and it makes a better mulch by putting nitrogen back into the ground around the roots as it breaks down and decays.

    If you're living on a property like this chances are you do not have a push mower with a bagging system and probably run a riding mower and you don't bother collecting the clippings. It would take all day.

    NO!!! A tractor rototiller would work much better! If your 3-point rototiller doesn't do that good of a job you must have a really crummy one! I even had a Howard Jem walk behind rototiller that weighed about 700 lb that would do a lot better job than that. And I could do several acres a day with it and it would look glassy smooth and beautiful when I'm done without any footprints or tire tracks. The Howard Jem videos on KZread are done by amateurs that don't know how to use the machine to its full advantage and they leave the ground looking terrible! In fact I have not found any rototilling videos on KZread that leave the ground looking nice. Seems like almost everyone wants to drive around with the tailboard up in the air so that the rototiller looks like it's throwing poop all over the field! In fact my cousin used tol work for someone who had a Howard Jem and would hire kids to pick up the big claude's from the job and throw them in the back of his pickup truck. In other words he was stealing topsoil from all of his customers! He would have been better off just buying his own topsoil instead of paying the kids to pick up the dirt clods and steal it from the customers! If you leave the tailboard up it just scatters stuff before it has a chance to get broken up! Which means you have to go over it several times. Which is a huge waste of time if you don't do it right the first time. Use your lowest gear and run the engine at maximum rpm, and for God's sake keep the tailboard down, that's your butter knife that spread it out smooth!!! And it has to be done when there's the right amount of moisture in the dirt and it's not muddy and it's not too dry or dusty.

    Growing up I loved running my dad's Massey Ferguson and Howard rotavator. A few years later I loved running a Friends antique farming and bailing equipment. I sincerely wish I could do that every year for the rest of my life. A few years later I bought my own small tractor and rototiller and went into business for myself. I wish I still had it, but life gets in the way. I got into construction and operated big equipment. But I still really love the smaller equipment and farming! Long live the crops!

    Plowing then disking then rototilling? That sounds like a lot of wasted time. My dad had a Massey Ferguson 60 horsepower and he did professional weed abatement for about 40 years. He would just go from one job to the next hitting it hard with his heavy-duty Howard rototiller. Even if the weeds were several feet tall. He would leave every job powdery soft and smooth as glass. He would make sure that the ground had the right amount of moisture before he did it. He had a whole bunch of repeat customers every year. They all complemented how nice and beautiful it looked when he was finished. Other people left it looking really rough and bumpy with footprints and tire tracks all over the place. It's ridiculous how so many people don't take pride in their work. 🙄
