[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5930706, member: 20583"] Given the size of the plot I don't think a disc is the right tool. Even a subcompact tractor with disc on back is going to be around 18' long. That's going to be a whole lot of forward/reverse action. In my experience a disc really shines best when you can run a steady, fairly high speed. Tight spaces like that will really require lots of sharp turning and high chance of snagging trees that will inevitably be hard on the equipment. If you have a walk behind rototiller or could rent one, I'd go that route. Or hire someone with a 3pt pto tiller to do it for you. The only other way I can think of is if you have a 4x4 ATV you might check out a Groundhog Max. It's a disc for an ATV that uses your own weight to push it into the ground. I've used one and can attest that they do work but they're hard on your ATV and it takes some time to get the soil worked up to a bare dirt, fluffy seedbed. I use mine for deep woods plots in steep terrain where there are no trails & I can't get my tractor into. I'd 1000% rather use my tractor but in small, remote, difficult terrain that little Groundhog Max is the ticket. [/QUOTE]
