Plowing through roots in a new field

I just cleared an acre lot for my new house and I also have a 2N. I used a box blade with chisel teeth set where only the teeth were in the ground. My brother in law with a B2910 Kubota used the same setup and we were able to rip up quite a few of the smaller ones but there are still a lot of big ones that are just under the surface and that"s where they will stay until they rot.

If you want to go to the expense you could get someone with a heavy bush and bog to disc it for you but even then they don"t get a lot of the larger roots.

They used to make a new ground plow that had a knife type coulter mounted on the front of the plow bottom that was sharpened and would cut through a lot of the roots but I doubt you would be able to find one now for your N.

Your best bet is to forget plowing or subsoiling and just disc the heck out of it and get in the best shape you can. That"s what I did on my 8 acres back about 20 years ago. YOu"ll break a disc blade or two probably but you"ll have it in good enough shape to sow your food plot and that"s what you want anyway.

Good luck.

I don't think a plow will ever do well in roots.

There are good instructions in the 9N, 2N, & 8N Ford Operator's Manual.
