    As you guys know I hunt the big woods of Northern Wisconsin. No fields, not much for acorns in most areas. I have a few areas I think I could get some decent plots to grow. Problem is 1) I don’t know anyone with the proper farm equipment to do it 2) Even if I did, that kind of machinery is just to big. I need something that I can use behind a 4-wheeler. I am thinking 4′-6′ wide max is what I could use. The 4′ would take a little longer, but would be much easier to get back into the areas I am thinking about. I know about the plotmaster, but what else is there. Anything less expensive, that would still get the job done well? Is the “all in one” Plotmaster style/type the way to go, or would it be better to get multiple pieces of equipment? This would also mean multiple trips in and out of the woods…..what are your thoughts??

    Ever here of the GroundHog Max? This little piece of equipment is the real deal. I bought one this spring and would highly recomend it.

    The only issue would be getting the ground dug up. That groundhog deal looks pretty cool. As far as seeding, all you need for most anything other than corn or soybeans is a hand broad cast seeder. Then maybe a small drag (could even be pine branches tied together and drug behind) or re work soil lightly and or roll pack with 4-wheeler tires.

    An old bed spring works good for dragging in the seed too…something you can leave in your woods too.

    I use a chunk of old dog kennel with rocks or concrete blocks for weight. seems to work just fine, and it was free

    Thanks for the ideas guys. I prolly should have been more specific. I’m going to be tilling mainly areas in the woods that have never been turned. Its going to take something with some diggers on it to get the job done. I may even go in ahead of time and cut/burn some of the stuff.

    I’m looking to buy some good equipment. Just not sure if I want to go the Plotmaster style “all in one route” or not.
    I am actually leaning towards the Kolpin Dirtworks series. They have excellent reviews, and seem pretty affordable.

    I don’t know exactly what you dealing with? But I think that maybe renting a compact tractor with a rototiller may work good if set at about 4″
    Pat Howard may be able to chime in on this? I know he has alot of expieriance with compact tractors and tillers

    Yep small 4 wheel drive tractor with a mower and tiller is the only way to go for me

    I have a Kubota B7510 4 wheel drive with a 60 inch belly mower and a 36 inch rototiller attachment. It’s a 26 horse diesel. And I love it

    There are times when I wish it was bigger but my 2 favorite “remote” plots would be hard to get to then.
