I’m looking to buy one mainly to even out some acreage.
I have a 47 hp Ford 3910, 4600 lbs.

The soil is a nice dark loamy mix about 6” deep changing to sandy clay for 4” then 2” of small river rock.

It is pasture grass with silver sumac and some gum trees trying to get big and lots of some other type woody stemmed weed/brush.
The question are;

How wide. How many blades. What blade size. Notched or smooth blades or Combo.

Anything else I should know? All suggestions and comments welcome. I’m new to all this and trying to learn.

Sorry, I meant to ask what advantage is a Drag type over a 3pt?

Should I break up the ground with a Bottom Plow?

Thanks for the tips. I do plan on a deep cut with the bush hog first as you said but what do you mean by ‘break it up’? What implement for that? Also what is the advantage of a pull type over a drag type?

FWIW, I will be near a New Holland dealer this Saturday and hope to stop by and check out the implements.

Pull type and drag type on a disc are the same thing, just differences in area of country people describe things differently

Thnks for the reply. I do have/use a 6' brush hog with dull blades. I've have scalped the ruts and woody plants real well, nor meaning to do that. The gum keeps coming back along with a silver sumac. Another reason I want to level the land a bit more and really chop them up. I'm not talking golf course smooth just less bumping and scrapping.

Also I want to plant a deer plot on a few acres. What is a decent brand?

any brand name should do. i would think that if you realy wanted to do this right you'd bush hog the ground, break it and work it up from there with a disk and drag or a pto powered tiller. they work great as far as preparing a seed bed. my 574 ih 54 hp just runs a away with a 6 foot tiller. i wish i had bought the 7 foot model. if you can find a nice jd disk with scalloped blades on it that is a pull type you'll enjoy it better than a three point hitch type. you need to buy a name brand disk the others aren't worth the time and effort. other post have talked about blades bending and just to light to work well.

sounds like you need to just use a bush hog on it and cut it down low. i read a post last night to use dull blades and it would splinter the small saplins up real bad and they wouldn't come back. the length that you leave the stobs makes a big difference the next time you run over one with a tractor tire. so either cut the down real low of frazzle them up good. you tractor should handle a 5 foot bush hog ease and if not cutting real thick stuff i'd go for a 6 foot one, you can always move over and not cut as much and then when you have ease cutting its nice to be able to get er done. especially if it rough ground where you have to go slow. that way a six footer earns its keep real fast.
