Rice stubble. Mixing straw and mud

Some weeks ago, our friend Antonio Rincón Almodóvar (from Orellana la Vieja, Badajoz - Spain) sent us a few pictures about his rice jobs after harvesting. As he told by phone, the main aim is mixing straw and mud for straw rotting. The best option for it is using a special iron wheel like a cage roller which are installed in the tractor and  a cage roller hooked on its rear linkage. As you can see in a picture, the stubble is absolutely mixed with mud.

For this task, he used his Kubota M128X, which works really fine in these conditions. In my opinion, as it is a Japanese tractor, it is more specialized in these tasks, but it is only a personal opinion... what do you think about that? The working speed is approximately 9km/h and the working depth sometimes is large enough.

Also, he sent us a few pictures and a video of his Laverda M304 combine harvesting rice, these photos were taken few weeks ago. As you can see, the combine needs a special iron tire tread.
