In the early 1950's my dad had a cedar swamp cleared to make a pasture. It needed tillage, and he tried to do it with a John Deere B and a 4' wide disk tiller. That's a single axle disk, heavily weighted, with 5 blades, about 18' in diameter. Somewhat akin to a disk plow, but not quite as agressive. Well, he got into trouble right away.

Wish my dad could be here to see them, and have the last laugh!
