FEATURES
The
Model 543 and Model 2148 Making a Deer Food Plot
|
|
The area designated for the deer food plot was mowed first. Mowing first helps to reduce the trash size and aids in the tillage operation. This particular plot was mainly weeds with some light grass coverage.
|
|
|
The first pass was done with 3 shanks and 9" field cultivator sweeps.
|
|
The second pass was done at a 45 degree angle to cross cut the ground. This second pass helped to further rupture the ground and create a nice 4" deep seedbed.
|
|
|
The third pass was done with the optional drag harrow attachment. This helped to level the soil and break up any unwanted clods in preparation for seeding.
|
|
The Till-Ease Model 2148 Cultipacker was then run over the soil to firm the seedbed. It was then seeded and run over again with the cultipacker. The second pass with the cultipacker helps to lightly press the seed into the ground and provide good soil contact.
