    I am wondering how many of you are looking for a food plot disc. I am not talking about little ATV discs. I am talking about 3-point or drag style disc for tractors. I have the ability to build brand new discs here at my factory. I have all the parts and the know how, I just don't know if it is worth the time. This would be just a side project. I just keep looking at all the parts and blades and cant stop thinking I should do something with them. I am going to build one for myself this spring. So if anyone has any thoughts on what style or width or anything let me know.

    All the used discs I can find around my area are really old and need lots of work. And the new ones (like from orchelns) seem light duty and weak. Thanks for any input.

    I have an old plow and a reverse tine tiller for my Kabota. What I really need to look for is a cultipacker. I have found plans to build one. If we keep getting snowed in this winter I may just have to try it.

    A little spring tooth with adjustable depth does everything I need behind a quad.
    I would go ahead and build it if you have the parts, sell it off if you dont need it.

    These are the 2 homemade cultipackers we made. The one with the weights works great. The one to basically pack a small plot with the 4 wheeler tires and just fill the gap between the 2 tires was a little tippy and we eventually added training wheelse to it and it worked just fine. We do have an old Case with a disc but we only use that when completely starting over a field in spring/summer and we want to get rid of all the leaves. It does a great job of cutting and mixing in all the fall leaves that have gathered.
