Break up top soil for lawn, products?
Looking for info on products or ideas any of you have on how to break up top soil to put in a lawn with my Rubicon. (this spring) Anyone know of discs or something similar that can be dragged behind to break up the top few inches of soil. If so, who sells them?
I've seen people drag shipping pallets loaded with cinder blocks, but that was more for leveling already loose soil. I was thinking of making some spiked planks weighted with cinder blocks. If any of you know of products or have made something that worked I would appreciate the ideas. Thanks, K2 |

For just lightweight yard and garden type work any type of implement you would use for garden tractors would work. When I needed a disk, plow, harrow, lawn seeder, roller and those kinds of things I would just rent them form the local rental store. They had them for garden tractors and they worked fine for an ATV. No more than I used them I couldn't see purchasing something like that.
They make actual ATV implements. They're expensive though and they're not the most durable things made when compared with actual agricultural equipment. You can find a good selection of them in the Northern Tool catalog. Of course you could just slap on a set of 589 mud tires and tear up the yard the fun way. |

In my profile there is a picture of an Ag. system I made. I gave up trying to find a system that would do what I wanted. When time allows I want to put on a set of discs and rake, already have the S-tines, back blade and box scraper.

You may want to go about it in a different direction. You can save possibly save yourself some time and sweat by renting or purchacing a tow behind arriffier (Plug type not a slicer) then overseed with a broadcast spreader that you can buy or rent. Then go over the yard with a dethatcher to break up the plugs and nesstle the seen in.
Rake up the thatch and hit it all with some starter fertalizer. If you have alot of weeds now i would recomend applying a weed and feed to the yard atleast 1 month before you start your project( allow the 1 month to be sure your new seed germinates safely) Steve |

Thanks all for the comments a ideas. I wasn't aware some of the necessary equipment could be rented and would work with an ATV, but after some thought...why not. Thanks again, renting would make a lot of sense for my needs.
