hey guys need a lil insight here, i have 20 acres of mostly wooded property i hunt on but there is a 1/4 acre food plot i did with a walk behind tiller which was a pain in the a** i want to do another 1/4 acre plot and a few logging roads next year but the walk behind tiller just isnt cutting it. currently i have a 99 2wd arctic cat 250 2x4 which people are telling me is to small to pull a disc with, i also have a 12 hp riding lawnmower but i assume thats pretty useless for a food plot to, i dont have alot of money what would you guys suggest is a better alternative then teh walk behind tiller that wouldnt put me in debt.

Based on what you have told us for a 100 ft by 100 ft plot you need to get a little larger tiller and after tilling , and seeding pull a piece of chainlink with the 12 hp mower, put in clover so you wont have to do this every year....

spray everything down with a 2% solution of glyphosate in the spring. wait a few weeks and repeat. then broadcast your clover and drag something behind your atv to work up the ground a bit. it could be a cedar tree, some railroad tracks, some tires in a V formation, or even a bedspring that you find next to a curb for disposal. this isn't rocket science, and it doesn't need a rocket scientists budget either.

What and why is glyphosate?

Roundup - generic. Makes life much easier. You can till or disc withWAY less effort if everything is dead first.

Hire someone to break up the land for you, it shouldn't cost that much and then you should be able to plant and drag your seeds in. Spraying is a good idea.

Can you get a tiller to hook up to your garden tractor?

Here is a flip disc you may pull. I would set some type of depth wheels so it would not go below 2". It cold be done.

if you guys had to choose one of these to use with your 250cc atv which do you think would be better to make a food plot
