I'm a new property owner of a mountain meadow - elevation 4800 ft. and wanting to plant about 3 acres of alfalfa. My tractor is sub compact Yanmar 4wd wt 1365 lbs. I am purchasing a 4 ft disc. , subsoiler/ middlebuster, and blanket harrow but wonder about a mouldbord plow. I know nothing about plows, the types, or how much tractor it takes to use them. I expect there to be at least some rock and dead wood in the ground. Two dealers have said that they thought that my 18hp tractor is to light but indicated that they had no experience with this combination. I see that Rankin and House make a 12" for smaller tractors. 1) will it work? 2) do I need one? I also have a 48"rototiller but thimk it not right for the potential rocky soil. Please help educate me.
