I have three small plots on my hunting lease that I planted for years with the traditional bush hogging & discing method. Last year, after our club tractor died, I was determined to go "tractor free" and try managing the plots with the no-till approach using only my ATV.
That first year was more successful than I expected, and sure was a lot less of a hassle than dealing with the club tractor. But growing conditions that year were perfect. I had serious concerns this year because of the dry weather and late planting. As with year one, I documented the process in pictures.
The plot was cut with my home made cutter, as reported here in the Projects/Build Section of the forum - http://habitat-talk.com/index.php?threads/an-atv-plot-cutter.5625/
