Maxwell-8 4,275 #3 Posted February 21, 2022 Plough can go deeper, we often use the plow first, then use the tiller 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turn it over in the fall with a plow and break in up in the spring with the tiller. Edited February 23, 2022 by Achto 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 11,935 #6 Posted February 23, 2022 I need both. Break the ground with the moldboard, let it dry out. Then till 'til I like the consistency. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would get a plow… you’ll have more fun, and it will get you used to making rows in your field. A mold board plow will probably cost less also… You will need a clevis hitch to go on the rear of your 520-8. You can get a new one at Wheel Horse Parts and More, a vendor in classified here, or look for a used one also in our classifieds. Or you could place a wanted ad in our classifieds for one… Edited February 24, 2022 by Horse Newbie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,683 #11 Posted February 24, 2022 If you use a mold board plow you will need a disk or a tiller....to make a decent seed bed. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
