Cultivating new field

Another possible implement is a disc plow. They are used in areas with lots of rocks in the soil, but I don't know how they would do at breaking sod. They take a lot of horsepower. This page recommends 40-50 hp for a 2 disc plow.

After plowing 6-8 times and discing 6-8 times, most of the rocks are gone and the fescue is dead. Well, 95% of it. It is actually looking like a seed bed now.

A rock rake or landscape rake may help you move some of those rocks out.

I would like to get a landscape rake. I think it would be helpful in the garden and on the gravel drive. I could use it to collect mulch from the forest.
