    Thanks. Well you got me beat mrbb. You were plotting before I even graduated high school LOL. I have been food plotting for just under a decade. I learned a lot on my old farm and I am looking forward to making improvements on this new farm I bought in 2013.

    The tiller is a great tool for sure. This is the first year I have used larger equipment to put in plots after years of scratching by with ATV sized equipment. I got a great deal on a used John Deere 750 4x4 with loader. I borrowed the brush hog & tiller and I hope to have my own in the near future.

    yeah you for sure learn as you go in this food plot game, I know I sure did
    all the mroe so when it came to chemicals and ways to save $$ along the way

    to me the idea small acreage tractor is about 50 hp and 4x4
    can run and pull most things needed and have power to sprare
    sad part is, since Hunters started doing food plots , it drove the prices of used tractors in the rage WAY up
    funny, back in the 90's tractors like this, were cheap cheap by standards, as all the main farners were up grading to the big stuff and bailing on the smaller things
    then food plotting took off and its been crazy on prices of equipment ever since
    just look at the atv plot tools
    yrs back when tractor went to 3 point hitch designs on almost everything, all them old pull behind tools were junk laying about farms
    now they got hunetrs paying top dollar for them LOL
    Crazy

    but best of luck to you on setting up the new farm
    sure you'll do just fine, sounds likk you have the right idea's to me!

    Well weasel looks like you're off to a good start. I definitely don't have as much property as you, lol, but I finished up planting my fall plot this morning. The ground has been ready but I've just been waiting on some rain, which they say should hit today and/or tomorrow, so let's hope so! I planted 1/2 an acre in heartland wildlife inst buck buster extreme. My spring plot didn't turn out like it should have but that was more my fault (not properly preparing the ground, no fertilizer due to time). But knock on wood I did everything right this time. So I guess we'll see....
    I live life at full draw....
