ATV Plow/Disc

[Bamawebfoot]

Anybody had any luck with them and has anyone ever tried the Ground Hog Max ATV disc??? Video looks interesting.

Cool little deal but if you look at the width you would be running over your plowed surface each time you moved over and pcaking it back down. In other words it doesn't look wide enough. Just my opinion, which isn't worth much!

I looked at these too. Seems they could be potentially bad for the frame.

IMO it looks like more of a furrower than a disc. May be hard to get an even till. I do see some potential though. Interesting concept. I'd like to see the pictures after someone hangs a good root or rock at 5-7mph.

Looks like a POS to me. To start with its too narrow. It would take all day to cover any ground. As someone said you would be packing as much ground as you were tilling with each pass. Third, tha thing would destroy your frame in no time.

Lots of experience with those over on the QDMA forums. I don't remember the consensus.

How would it destroy the frame. I guess if it digs too deep then it would put some torque on the frame when you turn. I don't think the packing is such a big deal since it probably is used to barely break up ground for spin-cast seeding.

I'd like to see them run it through some rice stubble.

The frames on fourwheeler a weren't meant to be used as tool bars. Just seems like it would put an awful lot of torque and shock on the rear frame section.

If all you have or can get to a secluded spot is this thing then it may have some potential. As far as real disking... your not going to accomplish that with this thing. I doubt this thing would do to well in hard dry ground or in heavy vegetation. I very rarely put alot of stock in a video or pic made by the manufacturer. The ground in the video didnt look real tough.

A garden tiller works good for that.

I have one and they are some bad little dudes. Gotta have a 4wd 4 wheeler though. They are not tractor discs so don't expect those type results, but for food plots (unless you have huge plots) they do just fine. If you have 10-15 plots to do you're gonna want a tractor/disc anyway. As far as thick vegetation goes, these things make mincemeat out of that stuff in a HURRY. I opened up a 125 yard lane that was briars and other weedy crap well over head high in about 30 minutes...I'm talking ready to plant, not just chopped down.
