The grass isn't really that tall (I cut it with the mower late last fall) but it's pretty thick. The hay hasn't been taken off it for years. The neighbor would come and sicklebar mow it for the people I bought it from and then let it lay just to keep the fields cleared. So it's really got a good bit of thick thatch. I'll try tightening the top link and adding some weight to the disc and see how that works. Really don't want to buy a tiller and probably will just break down and borrow a moldboard plow if I can find one. At this point I'm shooting to plant annual plots in late summer, that way I can prepare the seed beds this summer, then maybe next spring plan some perennials.

Thanks again for the replies.
