I'm sort of in the same situation, but it's a hay field that I'll be trying my luck on. The old farmer that I asked told me, "go slow". If you're just turning an existing garden plot, then I agree with Hugh about the two bottom plow and discs. Depending on what you find, a spring tooth harrow set might be found for much cheaper than the cultivator. If you're breaking ground where there has only been grass for some time, you'll probably still be okay. If you're getting dirty in a area with heavy roots, a breaking plow is what you should find. I've only seen single furrow ones, and depending on how ugly the ground, you won't want to 2 furrow. Instead of a cutting disc up front there looks to be wedge off a woodsplitter up front. It digs and cuts and pulls through everything. Nothing will help but experience. This time of year there are commonly plowing matches where you can see veteran plowmen work the furrow from tractor seat as well as behind a team of horses. Try to take one in, and pick their brains. I'm going to one a week from today. good luck

nitro: Your MH 50 will have 3 point hitch, right or wrong? In assuming yes, I'd look for 3 different implements; plow, disk and S tine cultivator. Go 3 point hitch all the way with 2 bottom plow, 6' or 7' disk and about same size s tine cultivator. Watch out for wear on wear parts of these implements, they can add up if buying new ones. It's often best to pay a bit more for non worn plow, disk or cultivator parts.
