  • Is this common with rice fields now? Is it use in place of the laser leveling fields?

  • @cameronr2000 No this was started before lazer leveling, but with the development of newer Rice varieties and lazer this method is seldom used, except that the water method does allow you to plant anytime even if it is to wet to work ground, It lets you plant earlier, to split plantings up

  • Interesting! I wonder if you let the water out of the tractors' tyres for this job? Would the greater floatation be a boon or a hinderance?

  • @peteacher52 No you want the wieght for traction we put water in all the inner tires on the duals and sometimes half full on the outside ones

  • have they ever got stuck

  • @greenarcticcat400 most of this ground around here in SW La. has a hard pan of clay you just have to be alittle careful not to break thru the pan you can feel it whenit wants to break out

  • So when do the girls in bikinis arrive

  • it isnt a waste of diesel. its actually really helpful. what it does is when those blades stir up the water, the water moves the dirt around the rice field so that if one spot is low it gets dirt and the farmer dosent have to work as hard to keep the rice field flooded evenly.
