I think I have about had it with frickin terraces. I am ready to take the scraper out there and level a few off so that they dont make you feel like your going to tip the grain cart.
Good pictures, not sure if youve tried this but if you turn your brights on and shut off the cab roof lights you should be able to see a lot better. I have had good luck with that anyways.

Nice pics there. That terrace is awful small, I wouldn't really call that terrace. Truth, you can't really see it. Ours is much bigger and lot more visible. Here is what our terraces look like. You need a slope to get a real terrace action. I don't want to hijack the thread, but just wanted to show what a terrace looks like. Check out the angle on this combine cutting where it would look like it would be flat:  Other shots of terraces after you cut them out to make your sections:  Here is a JD 4400 working on a terrace. You can see it right beside him.  |

Well why the hell do you think we are plowing them? huh??? Easy there, I am not trying to offend. Just I am more used to seeing big terraces so when I saw yours. I saw nothing really there. We all have different ground contours. Do you follow the terraces when planting, tillage, etc. Or you just run them over? We have to follow our terraces, or you create erosion and other major problems later on. Which will require a bulldozer to be used. Plus ours is big so you have to follow them. |

Around here terraces come in all sizes. The no till guy farm over their terraces because they don't really disturb the soil that much. The conventional till guys farm with them or you work them down. I need to plow ours this spring. They are pretty small and in bad shape.

I need to plow ours this spring. They are pretty small and in bad shape. I agree on that. Since our guys went to full no-till. You rarely have to work up the terraces now. Where it was like almost every other fall on that field. I need to work on ours next fall. That one is started to get worn down and not looking too healthy. I couldn't get out quick enough to fix it before the grain got drilled. |
