Tiller VS Disc Harrow

If you're standing at the crossroads of choosing between a Tiller and a Disc Harrow for your land preparation needs, you've come to the right place. In this video, we're unraveling the fierce competition between these two powerful implements, helping you decide which one best suits your land.

I farmed for many year but this is first time I ever saw somebody go in reverse with the disc in the ground. I wouldn’t do that.

Sooo... typically, what you do for ground that has been untouched is use a middle buster first. That breaks up the big roots and enables the grass and associated root systems to seperate when you plow. Then you turn the earth with a plow and and let it sit for the fall and winter season ideally, but for at least several days. This will start the vegetable matter (grass, weeds, etc) breaking down. After you've done that, you take the harrow and go over the ground (in forward only) a couple of passes. This breaks up big clods of dirt. At this point, you can introduce your fertilizer (such as manure) by rough spreading atop your prepared area.Then you use your tiller and make it aerated and ready to plant. That is an ideal preparation for a successful cropm of course youbalso need to analyze your soil and see what nutrients you have and what you need for the crops you want to grow. It's a lot. But there's a reason some operations are successful and most only hope for a good outcome.

excellent to see a demonstration without music playing to hide all the bangs and crashes. So much more educational.

Takeaways, tillers are great and dude has amazing arms

These videos are amazing. Being able to see the equipment in action for what it was made for and not just see a simple review is interesting. thank you. I would like to see a similar video using the x1100c utv with a mini excavator or something to move dirt on the farm.

If your ground hasn't been worked in awhile a tiller or a farm duty plow is the worst thing you can use because they will jam even after bush hogging. It's still hard to beat a bush hog followed by a disc then either a conventional turn plow or disk plow. After this is done then you might use your tiller and farm plow.

never disc harrow in reverse. Always pull the harrow forward.

I've got really rocky soil (Texas Hill Country limestone everywhere). I've never ran a tiller, but I'd be afraid of hitting rocks constantly if I were to try it. I was thinking the disk harrow might be a good option, as it could roll over the rocks? I'm mainly trying to prep some horse pastures.

How big of a disk can you go with on a L2502DT? 6’-7’?

I just picked up a land pride rtr1274. How can i tell the year model it is? Its used.

Disc ya back up connect and go unlike my tiller it has a pto to hook up. What a pain in da as s impossible unless pto guard removed

[sainiamarjeet]

u should put 50kg load each on front and back gang of discs harrow for better performance

[jsdl]

Rear tines or forward tines which is better

[dwaynesmith]

You have to go faster for the disc to work

[gohorse]

When making a new pass always straddle the “marks” . (Where the passes met.

This why my dad bought a custom made desck years and years ago because this ones that you get at dealers are too lite for what they are and we al know that compact tractors can lift a lot of weight on the rear so why don't they make them heavier.

Tiller is not necessary. Moldboard plow and disc is all you need.
