What did you use to till your food plot?

[Widowmaker]

I borrowed a small disc this past weekend to work up my food plot and it worked pretty good. Looking to buy my own equipment/disk and was wondering what everybody else used. thanks.

If the ground contains stumps or large rocks I'll use this....

But if not, I prefer to use this....

Have an old jd wheel disc similar to the one posted above. Works well.

You can do a lot with a small tractor and a 2-row disc. A tiller works sweet unless you got hard ground or roots and stumps like was mentioned above. You'll spend more time off the tractor replacing shear pins than cutting ground if you do.

I use a disc on areas with rocks and my 3-pt tiller in clean areas.

I used a John Deere 4955 fwd with a 27' DMI Tiger II tillall . We have a field back in the woods we got tired of taking the head on and off the combine to harvest so the whole thing is in a food plot. 6 acres split. Half soybeans/clover cickory mix.

We use alot of both. On our real big plots of about 5-8 arces that have already been disked up in the previous year we just spray and no till drill. But we mostly use a tiller on most of them, then on ground that has never been worked before we use a disk first then the tiller to get a better seed bed.

I have a 4' LandPride tiller I pull behind my Kubota.

This:

Then either a 10 foot transport disc or an 8 foot 3-point disc where the 10-footer won't fit.

7 foot tiller or 6 foot disc. Mostly the tiller. if possible, don't have to cover seed, they just fall right down in the cracks and let the rain cover them. Especially rape, turnip, and clover.

The food plots that I have put out this year for the first time are in areas of my woods that have been logged so I cannot get a tractor and large disc. I only have access to the plots with an atv so last night I went to Rural King and I have decided on the Worksaver Model FOD-16 disk. They have them on sale for $450.00.

We have some of the biggest most advanced farming equipment known to man. Automatic shutoffs, GPS driven autosteering, etc. Problem is their to big to get to most of my food plots. So I use 40 yr old 12' disk. I usually have to make about 5 trips cause its not heavy enough to turn the ground over when i'm startin a new plot. And it doesn't have a harrow so I have to make several trips to chop the chunks up. Then I use a fourwheeler spreader. And the last step is pray mother nature takes care of the rest. Primitive:)

I have four 1/2 acre plots in the woods and am in red clay. We have to plow and then disc... got both off of craigslist. 2 bottom plow $250 6' king cutter disc $300. Would like to get a tiller now that the virgin ground has been turned over the last two years.
