- '10 McCormick CT50U / John Deere 650 / Bobcat 873 / CAT D3
Great site! I have been lurking for awhile, but decided to get my feet wet. Georgia boy, fix teeth for a living and recently bought 60ac for family fun (so I am a novice at working the land). Found a nice '10 McCormick CT50U with loader, new Landpride 72" bush hog and BushHog SBX72 box blade. Spent 3 hours with the scrape yesterday for the first time and it is amazing how mentally cleansing simply moving dirt can be - I am having so much fun!
I hope to receive some input on attachments that would help me with some projects. I have about 5 acres of debris that needs cleaned up (limbs, small roots, etc...) that used to be a burn area. After it is cleaned, I would to food plot the area as deer and turkey are always in the this area. I don't know what is in the soil other than compacted georgia clay. What would be the top options to safely work the soil? I know I need a rake to clean the area up first, but then do I go for a harrow, spring plow, ripper, etc... to safely work in unkown soil before seeding?
