I have the same model. Worked okay but I have a lot of rock in the ground I was working. Felt like I was beating the 4 wheeler as I was working the soil. Used for a summer on different plots until a disc bearing gave out. Contacted the company and they sent out a new bearing set-up. Never installed it as I bought a 4' section of spring tooth drag which works great in comparison. Less stress on the atv and on me as the Ground Hog Max transferred a lot of punishment straight up!! I would sell my Max unit for $60.00 as is!

If you utilize a herbicide sprayer and broadcast your seed - some great food plots can be established without any tillage. Or, if you can burn off the area and then broadcast it will also work. Utilize some ground penetrating radishes, turnips, rapeseed etc to send down tap roots and help soften and breakup the soil. When these decompose they will add organic matter and naturally loosen the soil without tillage. I believe at one time a company even labelled a "tillage radish". Do not forget about green browse plots as well such as clovers, alfalfa. I would say soil sample as well if you want the best results. Personally, I like mixing my species in my plots in case something fails the other will do well. An old standby I utilize is oats, red clover, and rapeseed. I wont have $20/ acre in it. The oats generally will freeze out but are an excellent attractant for archery. Cereal rye or wheat could be substituted if you desire winter longevity.
