Few years back I did what you're looking at doing, learned a lot of stuff the hard way. I have an 8N. I bought some new and some used implements, but strongly recommend now that you buy older stuff. It is normally less expensive, and almost always better built. I've been gradually selling off the new stuff and picking up old stuff at farm auctions...if you're patient, it is amazing some of the buys you can make. Anyway, I plow every fall. This turns over the sod or weeks and gives them a few months to break down. I have a two bottom plow that works well. Since you are breaking old sod, I suggest you need to have coulters on the plow. In springtime, I disk to break up clods and spread the furrows a little. I use a springtooth cultivator to loosen the soil. I lay out my rows with a middlebuster, one of only two new tools I like. So, I suggest you get a plow, disk, springtooth cultivator, and middlebuster. Buying new stuff this'd be over a thousand bucks. If you're lucky and have the time to spend at auctions, you can probably pick it all up (a piece at a time) for a few hundred or less. good luck,
