Plow first or go right to tiller?

All of the box blades I have seen you can't remove the box & leave the rippers like that

It isn't a stripped box blade, I bought it like this for less than $200 IIRC. I have pulled up huge rocks with it from a garden spot I was prepping. I have it on my LS P7010 and so far haven't broke anything even when stalling the tractor's traction. Of course, I move really slow with it just for that reason, when I hang a cluster of rocks everything stops.

Interesting. I would interested in using something like that for small areas to prep before I till

I bought mine from a Mom and Pop hardware store here in Bismarck. No idea where they got it, but they do have a lot of HOWSE products there so maybe it came from them.

I've been browsing the web the last few minutes & haven't found anything like it yet. But that would be nice to have. Great score for you!

It looks like a small subsoiler.

Google... five tine subsoiler or five tine ripper .... Brings up a lot of similar options.

Ok let me look

I looked for a few min. I've seen the single subsoiler before but not one that big. A 3 tine would works great for me. Now I just need to find one.

A single bottom plow would be nice, but they are pricy. Also a middle buster would work, but the blade is to flimsy IMO. Maybe I could replace the blade with a heavier duty one.

You could buy three of these and weld them together.. for a three tine. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200660637_200660637
