  1. I found a old disc harrow this last spring. It was in a hedge row, long forgotten, rusting away doing no good for anyone. It is a 6 disc solid wheel harrow, 3 discs per side, with adjustment levers for disc angle. I had to weld one of the axel supports and grind off 95% of the bolts holding it together as most of them were rotten. I rebuilt the weight boxes that set over the disc's with some lumber, two 2x4's and some bolts to hold them down to the frame. I purchased one 80 pound bag of concrete mix, then poured the concrete into two 2.5 gallon buckets. I put one bucket on each side to help push the disc's down for stiff dirt on new plots, or plots that haven't been harrowed in many yeas. I planted 10+ acres with this newly re built harrow and it worked great. Its a bit tricky to back up but it can be done. I got stuck a few times in soft muddy areas and had to unhook and winch the harrow out. But mostly, it was great as I was able to get to places with the ATV and my re built harrow, where I had to use hand tools in the past. Plus on those plots that were too big for hand tools, and I would haul a tractor with a tiller in, now I can use light weight equipment. What a big time and labor saver all around. I'm very glad I found that old harrow. The price was right too, free. The farmer that owns the property where I found it, is also one of the properties I manage for guiding deer and turkey hunts. He and his wife were so appreciative of the hard work and land improvements, that they would not take a cent. So, keep an eye out for those old pieces of small farming implements. It could be a cheap investment on a tool that is worth is weight in gold for maintaining and building food plots. Good luck!
