Mole hill Implement?

[Raincityrider]

Hello Coth,

I have a three acre pasture that was tilled and replanted about two years ago and left unused. My neighbor was mowing it for me but I had done a round of weed control and fertilizer myself early in the year and it was acceptably smooth, not perfect but not terrible either.

Well, I mowed it myself yesterday and goodnight in the morning I nearly got pitched off the tractor at a crawl. It’s a mess. There are dirt mounds everywhere.

I really don’t want to till it up and start over since the space is small enough for me to spot repair. After filling the holes what would you use to level the mounds?

1. Chain drag -I think this might work for the fresh mounds going forward but I’m not so sure about the “set” ones
2. Land plane
3. Pasture Harrow
4. York rake?
5. Does anyone make a mole hill leveler small enough for a Kubota L 3901? That would be like Christmas in June.

I can try filling the low spots in between the lumps. I think I’d end up burying about a third of the pasture. But if that’s the solution so be it.

Thoughts?

Nobody knows nuttin’ eh? Welp…I will report back on this thread if I find some magic pasture fixing tool…

no moles here, we have fire ants… have to kill those puppies first then we use a harrow to drag the pasture…you may need to disk first if the mole hills are hard packed

For just 3 acres, I’d:
Poison the tunnels
Walk the field with a shovel and garden rake to knock down the mounds. Most will be loose enough that the rake would work, else take a couple scoops off with the shovel, then then rake.
Go back out daily to check for new mounds, and repeat above.

I’ve got 14 ac of pasture and this manual method works fine, the work goes pretty fast.
