IS A 40 YEAR OLD MASSEY FERGUSON 135 UP TO THE TILLING JOB?? MRS STONEY GETS SPUNKY!!!

What happens here

After tilling the entire garden, inspect the soil's consistency. The goal is to achieve a fine, rich, and dark soil structure that is well-aerated and ready for planting. The previously incorporated compost, manure, and wood chips should be thoroughly mixed throughout the soil, enhancing its fertility and texture. Note the significant time saving (35 minutes for two passes) compared to using a push-behind rototiller (7 hours) due to the efficiency of the tractor-mounted tiller. The garden is now prepared for marking rows and planting various crops like tomatoes, squash, zucchini, and sunflowers, with an expectation of rain in the coming days to help settle the soil.

Goal: Confirm the soil is optimally prepared for planting and plan next steps.
