Hi All,
New to this site, and tractors in general, so hope this is the right spot to post my question.
We just bought a house and 13 acres of pasture in North Carolina up by the Virginia border. We would like to convert an acre, or so, of the pasture to a garden and would like to start working the soil now in preparation for next spring. We have it fenced and will be killing the grass and weeds (Glyphosate/Roundup) this weekend.
We just bought an old Farmall 140 to handle the cultivating next year, but it came with a single bottom 14" moldboard plow, 5' tandem disk and a harrow.
We think we need to plow and also subsoil to get things turned over as deeply as we can before we disc. My question is, with the limited power of the 140, does it make sense to plow first and then subsoil or vice versa... or are we on a totally wrong track?
Any ideas, suggestions, pointers to articles would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Doug
