My answer to this quesiton was a rototiller........a 42" one that digs 6" deep. It does a wonderful job, really loosens up the soil nice.
Then I hook up the spreader & fertilize/lime & seed.
This is just powered by a 26hp John Deere all terain lawn tractor. Use the same Deere to mow with. Works good on small areas.
Or on larger plots, 4020 & the usual mix of farming gear.
