Disc for Quad/4 Wheeler?

I found numerous discs made to be pulled by a quad like my Yamaha 450cc Kodiak 4x4. Can anyone recommend these small discs and a particular model? I don't own a tractor but, I want to put in a 20 acre garden. I have a Troybilt 12 hp tiller to make the seedbeds but, I need to break the ground first then, use the Troy for the fine stuff. Alternatively, can anyone recommend a quality, affordable*, new tractor and disc combination for a 20 acre garden?
*I have only a few thousand dollars for a purchase or down payment if I could get fair and extended terms.
I'm much obliged for any help with these questions.

Get yourself a nice ford 9n or 8n and go to tractor supply co and buy a new 6 1/2 foot disk for it and it will work good for you. Those new disks are very heavy and work very well. I just bought one last year. You will also have the three point hitch and for a hobby farm and garden you need a three point. 9n's are easy to get on and off, you can use a 6 foot scraper blade very well, a dirt scoop, post hole digger ( not really very good) Hydraulics are a little weak for that . You can pull a two row culitvator, a three point two row planter, a boom pole, and you can still use a drawbar on them and do things with hitch style trailer implements. Parts are very easy to come by, everybody knows how to repair them and you can buy a good one for $2500 bucks everywhere. They have front hitches on them and it makes them easy to steer wagons hooked to the front end for parking wagons. Quads are a joke for field work. I have a 6x6 polaris and won't plow snow with it because I don't want to ruin it for no good reason. The transmission in a quad weighs about ten pounds. The transmission in a 9n weighs about four hundred. It is apples and oranges comparison. Quads are wonderful for what they are intended for and so are tractors. You can use that 9n for ten years too and still sell it for what you paid for it if you keep it up. Your only other option is a small utility tractor and they are wonderful in every aspect but they are very expensive. Farmalls are much better pullers than fords but they are bulky, tall, and lack a three point. You can buy a three point for them though and they work very well. We have a super H with a three point that is really nice. We have a M without and another H without and they are great runners for pull implements but not as handy as the ford. A 9n ford used to be considered an 80 acre farm tractor. I can't imagine it either! Good luck and have fun, sounds like a great opportunity.

I Am MUCH OBLIGED For All Your Replies... in reply to ET, 03-16-2006 11:03:29

I guess I am now on the hunt for a tractor and disc. i should know these things...my family are farmers in Indiana but, I am a long way from home here in Arizona. We are planning to open the garden for a U-Pick operation on the 20 acres. We are also building, piece by piece, a false front western town for filming scripted shoot-outs...kind of a dude ranch with gunplay (blanks fired under strict supervision). Thanks again for your replies.

I was going to reply on this yesterday but just could not find the words to do it. I would not want to try this on 1/4 of an acre let alone 20, I think by the time you finished breaking the ground with this rig, everyone else would be harvesting.

Hire it out, buy and old tractor and have fun, either would be the much better solution.

I have a Honda 4 wheeler..it's a 4 wheel drive go cart, nothing more, or less.
Sell your toy and use the money to get yourself some real equipment. Pray tell, what do you plan on raising in this twenty acre garden? Don't think I've ever seen one. If you put in one acre of sweet corn at staggered plantings and another acre in row crop veggies, you'll have your hands full and plenty for the farmer's market.

I love my 4-wheeler, don't get me wrong, but they are not tractors. Anything you buy made to be pulled by one will not be heavy enough to do any good, and anything heavy enough to disc properly your 4-wheeler won't have enough traction to pull. You need a tractor for what you want to do. Either find one you can afford, like many mentioned, it doesn't need to be new or fancy, or hire someone with a tractor.

You might want to consider a farmall M, H or C, or like size older tractor of whatever brand. I see them listed here from about $1,000.00 and up, mechanically sound. Would probably be able to get a good tractor and used disc and turning plow for $2,000.00. And, with 20 acres, you need a tractor with good heavy eqpt. Good luck.

I use my quad with one of those small disc's to work my 2 acre food plot and it takes me about 4 hours to work it, that is after the initial plowing when i opened the ground with a plow and disc on my tractors, since then it just needs a little tilling twice a year with my quad but if the ground has never been tilled, or not recently, you need to get someone to do it for ya. after the initial tilling you can probably work it enough with your quad, but your not going to break 20 acres with your 12HP rototiller. good luck

The cost cost-effective option would probably involve hiring someone else (with bigger equipment) to break that ground for you. Then the tiller would work well for the rest of the gardening. Twenty acres is a heck of a nice garden.

This being an old tractor site, most of us would buy an older tractor, moldboard plow, disc harrow and spike tooth harrow for this project. At 20 acres, you might want a tractor-mounted cultivator as well.

The kind of disc you could pull with a four-wheeler would be kind of useless on 20 acres.

No such thing as a "nice" 20 acre garden. Sounds like work to me.
