Tractor
BX 2230
Have about 8 acres that is flatish soil has some clay and small rocks. Lots of goffer mounds and typical run off from rain over the years. The water flow will always be a concern from the way the property is sloped.
The tractor is a kubota BX2230 23hp & 16.7 at the PTO, FEL and box. If you heard about the largest brush fire in California in 03 "CEDAR FIRE" weed control is a big issue. That fire started south of my house burned away and turned and came back 36 hours later and burned to my neighbors house <font color="red"> (Thank you Nevada brush crews out of RENO!!). </font> Anyway I was thinking batwing but what about a disk? I know that they recomend a 42" batwing but I dont remember or know if a disk is recomended. Any other ideas?
Thanks for your time and responses in advance /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If the area is fenced, I'd suggest goats. They'll clean up the brush and fertilize the area so you can get something growing to hold the soil.

To many 4 legged and 2 legged predators. Cyotes, Mountain lions, lynx, ferral dogs and chicken ranch hands. Was a good thought though. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The run off is not a huge issue but being 13" over on rainfall this year makes it more of priority to play catch up. Adding to the fact I was told that I need to make it more horse compatable tonight. So I guess I am leaning moe towards the disk and drag.
