I have one and I'm not particularly nuts about it as I have trouble with it in high residue situaations. I if you have anything on teh surface (or even below it--those tines will pull up previoulsly buried residue if you don't let it rot, which is slow in happenting in early spring) it tends to clog.
It does work well for bare fallows in between cover crops--if you disk up a finsished crop, several passes of a perfecta will help kill establishd weeds (if its dry enough....) and bring up new weed seeds so they germ and can be killed with another pass.

(or something similar) We're exploring low tillage options for stale bed cultivation, light cover crop/crop incorporation, and seedbed/transplant bed preparation.(post chisel plow) The S-Tines with Rolling Harrow seem pretty interesting. Anyone have any insights or experiences? How about other folks means to accomplish the same goals? Thanks, Brian **************Start the year off right.
