Can I get some advice for a novice in breaking new ground for food plots. I will have appr. 13 acres of unbroken grass fields to break open and turn into food plots. I have a 90 pto hp tractor and am trying to determine which is the best way to get started with opening the fields. People have told me that I should get a 7 shank chisel plow for initial opening and follow with a disk. As far as the plow goes is the chisel type vs a bottom type the right way to go? Is 7 shank right for my hp? Should I use a 3 point or pull type? The type of ground varies from pretty rock free to pretty rock infested.
As far as a disk goes I am planning on a pull type 10'-12'. Should I find one with a harrow attached for smoothing or use a separate drag harrow?
Obviously I not a farmer so any advice is appreciated.
