I am thinking about buying a ATV disc from cabelas to start a food plot next year. Do you guys know of any other discs that an ATV can handle that would do a good job and not a strain on the wallet.

From what i have seen there all expensive sorry

The kind of disc that an ATV can handle does not do very much.

I agree with falcon. The disk will not work to break up the soil. If it does bite into the soil, you will ruin your four wheeler trying to pull it.

pretty much anything you woul duse with an atv are junk you need good equip that you would use with a tractor some pto stuff.

We have a disc for our 4 wheeler and it works great for smaller food plots such as 1/2 to 1/4 acre food plots.

I planted a 1/2 acre food plot using the disc from the 4 wheeler to disc it up. The 1st time is always the toughest. I mowed all the long grass down and sprayed a couple of times and then used the disc a couple of times.

We did modify the disc by adding some weights to the back of it. About 100 lbs or so. The 4 wheeler is only a 400cc and it works just fine pulling that. I think the disc was around $600.

I have used that disc to plant 4 food plots this year and we planted a total of 6 with it this year alone but again they are not over a half acre in size. Anything bigger would take a lot more time and I would buy a small tractor for that.

I've been using a disc harrow for four years now behind my ATV with excellent results. I think I paid about $700 for it at the Deer Hunting Show in Madison, WI. The discs can be adjusted to cut more aggresive which I use on new food plots and less agressive when renewing existing food plots.

Here's a link to the one I bought.

I also bought their tine harrow for finishing touches on the plot bed.

And no I don't represent the Roth company, just passing on the best deal I found when shopping for these ATV implements.

Small discs do a much better job if you are able to burn off the vegetation first. An atv disc is simply no compariaon to a tiller or bigger disc you pull behind a tractor. But I think you can make it work with a little extra work.

It depends on what kind of soil you have. In some parts of the country an ATV disc will do just as good as a tractor then in some it's not heavy enough. They have worked great whenever I have used them. It just takes a little common sense.

Also a little more common sense....Don't pull one that is too heavy for your ATV and if you want a work ATV, don't buy an automatic.
