Nice looking food plots. I have been discing ours the last few days before the rains coming. Makes me want a tiller.

Yes these are new areas I am working on now. I am needing some rain. I am thankful for a good tiller.

What are you going to use to seed it? Are you planting clover, oats or a commercial deer blend? Looks great.......

My FIL says turnips and another special deer mix. He and my BIL are the big hunters of the family. I dont have the time to sit in a stand and wait so I do work like this and get meat in return also...

I'm jealous of that cab! :thumbsup: I always get COVERED with dust. 
That tiller seems to do a great job!:drool:

Nice pics and I wish I had a tiller to set up some plots like that. Though I gotta ask don't you think you'd be better off with a tractor other than a deere, you seem to go through a lot of them:laughing::laughing:

I am very happy with the Deere's. I just like to try out the new models. Don't want to get bored with the same machine all the time... LOL

I also have cab envy. I will wait for the dust to settle before preparing plots.

The cab is very nice to have. I used to do this on an open station tractor and it was no fun at all.

Nice work. I need to be doing the same thing, and wish I had a tiller. I have tried to think up enough reasons to buy one, but keep coming back to good chisel plow and weighted disc.
Back in June my buddy and I plowed and planted two or three acres of chufa for the turkeys next spring. We planted a small plot last year and the turkey go after it like cocaine. So this year we planted more. We got good rain, put out some 13-13-13 and the plants look much better than last year.
As to the deer foodplot, I need to get busy with a bushhog and chisel plow. Will put the seed in the ground about mid-September
