Preparing Field for Food Plot with Ford 8n Tractor

Spring is here and it's time to get ready for the summer food plots! I finally decided to prep a corner of my field for future wildlife food plot that I have been meaning to do for years. I hopped on the old ford 8n, hooked up a disc and cultivator, and tore it up. Along with growing our own food on our homestead, we like to hunt for food as well.
Our goal with the food plot is not only to provide us a quality hunting spot but it allows us the opportunity to view wildlife throughout the year.

78yr old retired in White Bird, Idaho. Man, do you have some beautiful land. I live on a rocky canyon above the Salmonriver.

Thanks! Yea, it’s not a ton of property at just five acres but it’s enough to most things I’m interested in!

@@waypointhomestead would the cultivator alone rip the lumps out? I don't have a disc yet.

@waypointhomestead also what would I need to smooth it out afterwards? Box blade maybe?

@@justindwyer3832 Probably depends on your soil type. My land is almost all sand so it breaks up pretty easy. If you’re making a track you might not want to tare it up too much, I don’t know. Maybe just use a back blade or box blade to smooth it out?

Those 8Ns really shine when you have a large selection of implements to work with and I really envy you it looks like you have a lot of beautiful land to work on good for you keep that old iron running and carry on!

Thanks! It’s kind of a new hobby for me but I’ve come to love old tractors. The 8n might not be the toughest tractor around but it’s easy to maintain and fix. Like you mentioned, with enough implements you can get a lot done. I will admit, there is something pretty special about driving around a field in a tractor that’s twice as old as I am!
