Evening folks!
Looking seriously at a 853 and had some questions. Like another user I saw here, I have a smaller application for the tractor. We're interested in setting roughly a total of about an acre's worth of tillage up on our property. It's pretty hilly so we have to set two or three separate gardens. I could use the flail after we clear some trees and brush and set in roughly a 30x100' strip, then maybe two smaller spots elsewhere. We too have 50 acres of trails to rough cut, could use the snow blower and a chipper.
We'll be gardening rather than farming so we'll have to work for several different vegetables in these small areas. We're also looking to do a condensed form of gardening rather than the traditional 50/50 wasted space of walkways.
I'm wondering how well suited the berta plow would be for this type of space in terms of not having to make rows but rather plow the entire 30x100 flat and set up our own paths through the garden? From what I've seen these require the user to throw the dirt to the right and basically make a trench that keeps throwing dirt to the right.
Is it simple and possible to pattern it so we just get the total square area completely plowed and evenly spread without creating ditches? We're interested in being able to get down 12" deep so we're looking first to plow and later to till cover crops in and compost.
Any direction would be appreciated,
Thanks
