I don't have a disc "yet". I'm looking for one that fits on a 3-point, is 5' wide and doesn't cost it's weight in gold. I have a small Kubota 4wd tractor with a FEL that I'd use the disc on.
The rototiller that I have is 42" wide and is a self-contained unit. It fits on my JD345 garden tractor. The drive belt that would drive the mower deck drives the hydraulic pump on the unit, that drives the tines. It is reversible, the tines can turn both ways by flipping the tiller part end for end. A 5/16" bolt is used as a "shear pin" on the tiller.
I can till new ground. Tree roots are a PITA, a grassy, thick sod is better tilled if it's killed with Glyphosate, then cut as short as the mower will cut, then tilled.
The tiller will go down about 8" at max depth. Over the years I've tilled a lot of acres with it mostly putting in food plots.
But now time is becoming more important, so I really need to find a small disc, cultipacker and 2-3 row planter for the food plots. I'd buy a Plotmaster Hunter 400 if they weren't so darn expensive!!!
