[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2489826, member: 92702"] For years we farmed deer with ATV implements both store bought and homemade. For a disc get one that the ATV holds down and not one that you pull with wheels. Works 10X better but not as wide. To flastten the seed bed and to cover the seed you can buy a harrow, but it is no better than pulling a set of old bedsprings around. If really in the back cut down a tree and pull the log in a y harness. You need a whole lot bigger plot to justify a tractor unless you just want one. The pull behind bush hogs will cut down a bigger tree than you can run over if you get one with swinging blades. Food plots really don't have to be big to be effective. You aren't really feeding them there. There is plenty of food. Its more like taking them for Ice Cream. Deer just love something green to chew on. Rye grass is cheap and actually works as well as most commercial blends. If you want to take it to another level mix about a pound of turnip seed with 50# of ryegrass seed. They seem to love them more than I like Chocolate pie. [/QUOTE]
