I just went through the same thing starting 3 years ago on about a 2 acre garden spot. Agree with the post below that the most critical thing is compost compost compost, and where compost seems to dissappear in sandy soil, in the heavy clay I've turned up things buried a year earlier that just molded. Whatever implements you use, it will take lots of time and diesel compared to sand. When you finally get it loose, it'll out produce the sand two fold. I kept planting cover and disking it in for two years, this year the disk pulls axle deep as fast I can drag it. First year went very slow over the very roughly plowed sod from many directions. I gardened some of it, put the rest in sorghum in the summer (2 times), and elbon rye and turnips and clover through the winters. I'm in east Texas. Takes a little while, but it's worth it.
