I'll be using my 122 with ag tires and wheel weights. I'm also considering loading the tires, but want to see how plowing goes before I go through that.

I'll put a photo of the main garden area below. I would say it's about an acre in this area. We have plans to do another 2-3 garden plots on the land elsewhere. They will be on sloping land. The main garden space is bordered by a creek that flows about 4' below the grade of this land. We did some small scale gardening (see photo) this summer and lost some seeds due to heavy rain and flooding/washing-out of the beds. That (plus the plan for potatoes) is why I want to raise up the planting beds some, which is semi-naturally done when using a tractor for gardening--the tires compress the non-planting areas as you drive. Hauling in dirt for raising the land is not an option.

Anywho... sounds like a plow and set of discs are the main implements. What about the cultivator set, any real use for it other than scratching ground and doing some weeding of rows? I wondered about getting a couple of discs and using the cultivator as a tool bar to hill up my rows for potatoes, etc.

I'm only new to tractor-style gardening. I've gardened in raised beds for many years.
