RE: atv disc
"what atv disc do you guys use or recommend, looking to purchase one in the future trying to get an idea of which ones do the job and ar durable."
An ATV is not the best thing to pull a disk with. i know several guys who have trashed their ATVs doing so.

RE: atv disc
I went the ATV disc route several years ago with poor results. My soil here is heavy clay and the disk wasn't heavy enough to penetrate soil much. In the end I added some weight to it and eventually it burned out my tranny. This seems to be a common problem with ATV pulled disks. So I ended up buying a 14' disc at an auction for $150, and then cut it down to 8' so it could be pulled down my trails. Cutting it down takes some skill, but I still only had roughly $200 into it after all said and done. Taz

RE: atv disc
Do not buy and ATV disc, not matter what. They are very expensive, and dont near the job and old fashioned 15 foot disc you pull behind a tractor will do. I don't know if you have a tractor, but that is what i recommend.

RE: atv disc
We bought a King Kutter compact disk at TSC this spring for $400. It works great. We have a 500cc honda and had no problems with it. Not ideal and I wish we had a tractor but we didn't and still got two 1.5 acre plots in on virgin soil.

RE: atv disc
I have a Biologic atv disc I used. It works OK, but you need to make sure you spray before you use it for maximum effectiveness. For a smaller plot in the woods it works, on our larger ones, we use the tractor. It was pretty expensive for teh amount we use it ($400 used), and I agree it is probably not very good for teh atv. Our plots came in pretty well though.
