thank u! finally somebody actually answered this question, instead of avoiding the main issue with the paddocks. A+

I use both!

Depends on what plots I'm doing and if I use herbicides or not.

If I use my tiller, I usually run my discs first anyways so it's easier on my tiller. Also can flip up some unsuspecting rocks, thus saving the tiller.

I like making my first disc cut not too aggressive and run somewhat slow. Then I angle the discs more and speed up perpendicular to my first cut. Seems to work for me.

If I just disc, it's way faster. It seems as though the deer don't care which ones I use so long as they're fed.

I'm no expert and have zero farm background. This is just based off what I've done with my food plots.

I'm only working up a couple acres a year with an old Ford Jubilee.

I have about 5 acres of plots I've used plow and disk the last few years but decided to till this year and they both worked fine to do it. But you are right about the rocks with the tiller.

[BryanPoulsen]

Tillers are great for small areas that are relatively clear. If you use a tiller on acres it is going to cause extra wear and tear on your tractor. They both have their uses and I choose to run both.

This came out really spot on for me getting ready to make the move for next year.

[jeffreyhouston]

Tillers are made for small backyard gardens. I worked on 10, 000 acre farm and we had around 120 plots. Would've taken weeks just to till that in.

This was really helpful. Really helped me make a decision. I would love a tiller but my field is pretty rocky... So discs it is. We'll just need to make a few more passes

[SemperFiE]

Sitting down in the toilet taking classes, I would’ve never known the disk needed momentum, but it all makes sense..

[Gaborekoe]

Thanks. I've been wanting these kinds of visuals

[marcnicholson]

If you’re sowing buckwheat, the disced sod is just fine. You don’t need to spend the money on a tiller. I use a two-bottom plow every other season and disc every season before broadcast sowing. Buckwheat comes up fast and thick. Thanks for the side-by-side comparison though.

A moldboard plough is the implement for turning sod. A disc comes later when the plants under
the plowed soil die. A chisel pow or ripper are to loosen the subsoil. Tillers may be for gardeners
or hobbyists; they are not for farming though.

Using a drag behind your disk it smooths it out looks better.

[joecrumpler]

I would have used a breaking plow before disking. A leveling board behind the disk will produce a "finished" look.

[mzamonzuza]

Good video man... It really helped me. I think tiller is better than disc. For a 30 hectare land, what size tiller should look for? And what size tractor? I am planning to buy those two and use them on a land that hasn't been used for the past 30 years.

[nohandle]

My ground is super rocky with red shale. What do you think about using a disc and following up with a cultipacker after seeding?

[jackle]

So what about a few passes with a disk? Ever get good? And did you have much momentum with the disk? I've heard they take a good amount of momentum to work good which I'd assume means you'll make much quicker passes. Anyway, thought I'd ask since I've never used one. Thanks for the video

[govsux]

Thanks for the video I really needed to know that...

[trophyhunterssupplyllc]

My foodplots are full of rocks my poor tiller barely stays in the ground, usually jumping out and rattling all the bolts loose from the chaincase lol. I think im switching to a disc or a soul pulverizer this year.

[Lionoftruth]

You have to use a plow before using disk Harrow

[wynott]

Certain brand tiller you would recommend
