Disc is used to cut up stubble that would plug up a field cultivator or cultipacker. Can be used from 1/2 inch up to about 8 inches deep, depending on what size blades it has.

Sod is moldboard plowed and field cultivated to plant or could use a cultipacker on it.. Bean stubble is either subsoiled in the fall and field cultivated in the spring or just field cultivated in the spring with no fall tillage.
