She barked pretty good pulling this around. Got a row of sugar snaps and about eighty tators planted too. Fun night.

I pull a 9' harrow like yours. It will make it work, especially the first time over. I often pull a cultipacker over the plot first to level it off, then use the harrow. I have a weighted drag on the back of the harrow also. Really makes a nice sead bed.
I have 2 kinds of peas in along with cabbage, cultaflower, brussels sprouts and brocilli. I'm waiting for rain so I can plow the other 100' of garden. Then I'll plant potatoes next, about 80 pounds, followed by corn and beans.
CA is a real workhorse, but I'm giving it a little break this year and using the D14 & D15 more. Bob

| I use my wd 45 for most of the work. Got a b with cultivators I'm excited to try. I think that drag is a 12 footer. A really good man gave that to me. I remember hearing his 730 deere chugging away next door pulling it. |

| I imagine she did bark a little with that --- but it was a bark of joy to be working. |
