Dry Hard Soil! John Deere 5075E Disking …Any Chance Grass will Grow?

Implements & attachments65–75 hpJohn Deere 5075E

Overview

Part of a multi-episode lawn grading project, this video focuses on using a Monroe Toughline 8.5-foot pull-type tandem disc harrow on bone-dry, compacted fill dirt with a John Deere 5075E. Tim explains why he chose a pull-type over a 3-point disc (weight matters for penetration), discusses gang angle tradeoffs in hard soil, and touches on fertilizer spreading. Seeding gets pushed to the next episode, so viewers wanting the full project outcome will need to keep watching.

An owner-operator channel documenting real family property projects, self-described as non-expert but hands-on and experiential in tone.
