Don't have the equipment to maintain it I don't think. Don't you have to spray it and mow it at a certain height?Why not change over to a perennial clover plot? Less work,less money overall.

Yes and no. You can seed it with a bag seeder. Spray it yes. You want to kill out the grass and broadleaf. Not a must but is best. You don’t really have to break ground to get clover going. Best bang for your buck. I don’t mow my clover I let it goto seed and do its own thing. I do fertilize itDon't have the equipment to maintain it I don't think.

I agreeGood answer.
I planted a bunch of different clovers so I had something for the wildlife to eat year-end.
Spray,fertilize and lime is easier than plowing.
Thanks. Do you adjust it level or more rear down?@Hit-n-Miss let your pull machine and soil moisture dictate weight added.
I waited until it rained before I plowed this year. We had been so dry. No weight.
Sometimes I will throw a big tire over jack.
Keep in mind, I have a few more discs than your model.
Nice. Sounds like you got everything you need. I don't have a sprayer or a drag. I usually would lightly disc the seeds in when had access to a tractor.Following along here.
I'm kinda in the same boat on relying on someone with a tractor and I don't like that.
I got a small harrow like you all and atv or SXS to pull it with. Its a learning curve for sure. Weights, some or no weight. I also have a 15 gal sprayer, small electric broadcast fertilizer, drag harrow and bag seeder.
I have spray most of the food plots at our club, takes a little time but that's ok. I also have walked the plots broadcasting the small brassica seed.
I have had some pretty good luck with my food plots but the dang deer wear it out and the turkey eat all the seed!
Got a small harrow like that as well. Hopefully it will do what I need. The plot is currently planted with a fall / winter food plot mix. I will burn it down with gly in the spring and wait a few weeks. Then disc, fertilize, drag, broadcast seed and then give it a light drag or cultipack, if that project is done.Got Kingcutter ready to go. With new wheels and a hanger. View attachment 1284359
Iike the grate. Sometimes I attach buckets then throw in rocks or whatever is handy for weight. I have buckets as a by product of drywall work so I use for lots of stuff. Also found farmers like to have a few and it proptes good will with them.Finished some repairs and added some heavy steel grating to topside of disk today. Now I can stack some concrete blocks and strap them down as well if extra weight is needed.View attachment 1286005View attachment 1286004
