I've used my atv to put in all 3 plots have. Only becasue I don't have a tractor. But I would suggest a tractor if it was a choice. If going to use a quad I suggest one of at least 500cc, and a low geared rear end. Not one made for top end speeds. Something with grunt. I have a 01' Arctic Cat 500 auto. My brothers Yamaha 400 is faster, but he can't pull what mine can. I've used atv sized disc's & plow drags, pull behind mower to do all 3. But I'd much prefer a compact tractor & hope to own one someday.
