Tio1 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Want to put in some smaller plots using 4 wheeler. The ground hasn't been turned over. What's the best option? Pull behind discs? Need ideas Thanks Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LET EM GROW Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 anything you can drag and scuff up the top couple inches of soil, will work.. make sure you have grasses/weeds growing there already.. kill em then drag the heck out of it.. if i had picture for some of the crap i fabbed up to drag behind my wheeler when i was younger, youd laugh out loud.. if you have the money get yourself an nice set of adjustable discs... depending on the engine cc of your quad...

growalot Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) What do you have now? And how big is small? Are you looking to buy attachments? Trying to keep costs down? I started out with a rear tine tiller and a rake. Pulled A piece of chain link with a log wired to it behind the 4 wheeler as a drag. I still do this on small and narrow plots. 1/2 acre Edited January 26, 2016 by growalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 What about dragging a tire with studs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Wonder if the Groundhog max is an option for discing soil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LET EM GROW Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 When i first started i took the ( 90 degree steel brackets off my old bunk beds when i was a kid, shoved the biggest piece of lumber i could possibly fit between them and bolted them to the lumber... whipped that around a bunch ... had an awesome plot... anything that will tear up the soil will work.. just kill the vegetation first.. i watched craigslist like a hawk, theres old equipment drags on there for sale all the time... hopefully in the next year or 2 when life slows down some i will start doing plots for (somewhat local) people and not rape them with price.. Also there are people around that already do this... Finger Lakes food plots is one I have seen, and there is also a guy on craigslist who advertises his food plot gig...
