disc plus plow at once?
 
I picked up a brinly disc today, and was wondering what the odds that my 100 would be able to pull my one bottom (10 inch) and the disc at the same time. I think probably not, but I thought someone here might have some first hand input/experience.

Thanks.

Unless the disk is only one row wide, you're gonna be trying to disk ground that hasn't been plowed yet...

I know that part, but wouldn't it still work the ground that was being plowed?

Seems like if it will work that way, it would save me a lot of time, assuming it won't kill my poor tractor.

Personally, I don't think you will get very good results. You'll also probably run out of traction.

You'll need to use them separately. Unless you have acres of garden to plow/disc, it's not going to take you that long by switching attachments.

About 3 acres is what I'm looking at.

Thanks. That's what I thought, but I figured I'd ask.

3 Acres? You really need a small farm tractor.

It would take DAYS to plow up 3 acres with a single bottom plow and a Cub Cadet! :bigeyes:

Your 100 will have it's hands full just pulling a 10 inch plow...let alone a disk and plow combonation. It's best to leave the fresh plowed soil dry out some after you plow. A tiller will work the soil faster than a disk plus you won't have as much soil compaction with a tiller. Wide tires on the front and/or duals or wide tires on the rear helps to reduce soil compaction. I have a disk...don't use it because of the above reasons.

It took 10 to 20 garden tractors 4 to 5 hours to plow 12 acres at Ohio Plow Day last fall.

Are you planning to have a food stand to sell fresh produce?

Food plots for shootin deers.


I'm hoping I can get the plowing done in a long weekend, think that's plausible?
