Initial Observations:

Krause 7300 Disc
cut and mixed more residue than other equipment; had the potential to create 3-4" clods; leveled very well.


Krause TL 6200 Landsman cut and mixed residue well; created 2-3" clod size; leveled the soil very well.
Krause 5630 Field Cultivator mixed residue with soil; created 2-3" clod sized leveled the soil very well.
