Breaking new ground

What would be better for breaking new ground from the above two? I may have access to a 3 point tiller but not sure yet.

For just breaking new ground I would say the single plow, but for multiple use I like the cultivator. I have one like that 80″ wide with 2 rows of tines and I use it for both breaking new ground and working up plots. It’s ok for breaking ground if it isn’t hard packed dry soil.

I would definatley try to get a tiller. We rented a tractor and a 5’or 6′ tiller last year for around $300 a day. If you don’t have lots of rock, you can get quite a bit done in one day.

I bought the cultivator last year and workd great on already tilled ground (it turned over an existing clover plot). I did try it on sod that had about 4 inches of grass and I was surprised how well it tore it up. I used it on a new 24 hp diesel tractor I bought. That being said I agree a tiller is the way to go and I will be purchasing one this spring. I never tried the potato plow but would imagine it would work well but would take a long time to do a plot…good luck.

I think the plan will be to borrow a 3 point tiller to break new ground and buy the cultivator for the following years.
