I am about to click order for one of these.....been planning on them for some time but need to hear some more real life real guy opinions on it. I completely realize my larger than an acre spots would be just as easy to pay to have someone come in but most of my plot styles are broken chunks of an acre or smaller (as small as 20x30 feet even). It will be being used on a 2015 Honda Ranger quad my boss just came into on a trade and I have full reign of it whenever I want (he's alright for a boss haha). So is it worth it? I know I want to grab the kit with it and really focus on mounting it appropriately.
In the main 3 properties and the new one, not bad at all....the newest property is one I'm not aware of yet for sure, but didn't seem like it. Is that the one thing that these hate?
When I had mine the rocks really bounced the ATV around since it transfers the load right to the frame. I wasn't really a fan of that. I've also read that people with rocks really need a strong mount (stronger than the ones without rocks). I think those little things are great but I sold mine and got a pullbehind. But that is of course more money. Since you can probably sell it for almost what you pay for it I would try it and see what you think. Every situation is different.
The strong mount and taking ones time (not expecting a one pass type thing) seems to be the key. Going to go pay off the rest of my taxidermy bill, get new Elite 32 set up and then should have enough left to have a Max here by April tilling starts.
Biggest thing I have seen for any atv disk is proper weed control, I do two applications of gly before I disk. For Spring plot that wouldn't be possible but you could get one app first week of may. Nice thing about it is it kills the roots and ground works like a dream a few weeks after. You have any buddies that are good welders? I designed my own pull behind. then had my neighbor who owns a metal fab shop custom cut all the parts I needed. took those to my buddy who is a auto repair guy. He mig welded it up and painted it for me. Then just assembled it all and for under 400 bucks I was into an 800 dollar flip over pull behind, that was made with 1/4 inch steel instead of 1/8! best food plot investment I have ever made!
