Dan, if you have poor soil and arid conditions, don't work anything very deep - I'd say 3-4" max. When putting plant matter any deeper with a plow in sand/clay, you're actually bringing poorer soil up on top - in effect, starting over. By the time you get anything re-established enough to use the compost under the surface, it is long gone. So, to answer your question regarding equipment to use with your M: A 6' to 8' disk to scratch and level the ground, a seeder for planting cover crops or to spread dry fertilizer if available, and a pull-behind mower or mounted sickle mower. Keep in mind that since the land isn't already lush with vegetation, it will require more input (time and money) to make it so.
