- If you're standing at the crossroads of choosing between a Tiller and a Disc Harrow for your land preparation needs, you've come to the right place. In this video, we're unraveling the fierce competition between these two powerful implements, helping you decide which one best suits your land.
I farmed for many year but this is first time I ever saw somebody go in reverse with the disc in the ground. I wouldn’t do that.
Sooo... typically, what you do for ground that has been untouched is use a middle buster first. That breaks up the big roots and enables the grass and associated root systems to seperate when you plow. Then you turn the earth with a plow and and let it sit for the fall and winter season ideally, but for at least several days. This will start the vegetable matter (grass, weeds, etc) breaking down. After you've done that, you take the harrow and go over the ground (in forward only) a couple of passes. This breaks up big clods of dirt. At this point, you can introduce your fertilizer (such as manure) by rough spreading atop your prepared area.Then you use your tiller and make it aerated and ready to plant. That is an ideal preparation for a successful cropm of course youbalso need to analyze your soil and see what nutrients you have and what you need for the crops you want to grow. It's a lot. But there's a reason some operations are successful and most only hope for a good outcome.
Now it is clear! Farmer have been doing this for centuries...there had to be a simple way. Thx for the simple explanation. The down side is i need both a tiller and a disk harrow. It does make sense at the end.
Great comparison thanks for the video
Takeaways, tillers are great and dude has amazing arms
Seems like you are correct on both takeaways!
These videos are amazing. Being able to see the equipment in action for what it was made for and not just see a simple review is interesting. thank you. I would like to see a similar video using the x1100c utv with a mini excavator or something to move dirt on the farm.
We're glad to hear these videos are helpful! That video is a great idea, we'll get that on the schedule!
I've got really rocky soil (Texas Hill Country limestone everywhere). I've never ran a tiller, but I'd be afraid of hitting rocks constantly if I were to try it. I was thinking the disk harrow might be a good option, as it could roll over the rocks? I'm mainly trying to prep some horse pastures.
I just picked up a land pride rtr1274. How can i tell the year model it is? Its used.
I am not sure there actually is a way to tell. Most dealerships don't register their units when sold and year model never is a consideration when looking up parts or value of the tiller. As long as you know the serial number you should be good to get parts and service!
@kubotaoflynchburg Sweet! serial number sticker is on the side of it. Perfect. Thank you for the help! That'll work. 👍
How big of a disk can you go with on a L2502DT? 6’-7’?
rule of thumbs, 5 hp for 1 ft of implementation.
so a 2502dt should be a 25 ish HP tractor. so 5 ft disk.
if you had a lot of flat land I would be willing to go up to 6. this said my tractor is hydrostatic. results may vary
how much disc harrow
Rear tines or forward tines which is better
we actually have a video comparing the differences! If you still have questions, let us know! th-cam.com/video/sfyWHcz6FFE/w-d-xo.html
Disc ya back up connect and go unlike my tiller it has a pto to hook up. What a pain in da as s impossible unless pto guard removed
never disc harrow in reverse. Always pull the harrow forward.
When making a new pass always straddle the “marks” . (Where the passes met.
You have to go faster for the disc to work
This why my dad bought a custom made desck years and years ago because this ones that you get at dealers are too lite for what they are and we al know that compact tractors can lift a lot of weight on the rear so why don't they make them heavier.
Like everything else it all comes down to cost. The cheaper and lighter they can make them the more money left for profit. That's why NOTHING is built to last 100 years like it used to be. We still have functional and usable implements that's my great great grandparents used in the 1880s. Albeit they are nowhere near as efficient as modern equipment but the point is... They still work and they aren't light.
Okay the tiller is better
Tilling backwards? Wtf
You talk to much
