Just looking to talk some food plot ideas - What do you guys have the best luck with for a late season plot? Do you do anything special for fall plot preps? How about some pictures of bucks taken off kill plots? 137 days till archery opener...

Thanks for the response! I'll be tilling about 2 acres a year on average. I have a 57 hp compact so will be getting a little larger one. But I would think they are built the same.Thanks again! I just planted an acre of Alfa Rack Plus. Hope it's raining on it right now....

Setterjack I run the king kutter xbx 54" rotary tiller on my 25hp subcompact. Only issue I've had is a few bolts loosening up so I had some gear oil leaking. Easy fix with some regular maintenance. I've hit some decent rocks, plenty of roots and average ~3 acres of tilling a season and can't ?complain ?on year 3 now. No experience with any other brands for comparison though.

Clover is coming in good plus winter rye was growing a little.. It was hit hard during the winter... Pictures like this makes it worth all the effort....

FishX , thanks! I've been retired 5 yrs. Where I worked I've used a 6 ft landpride. It was very tough!! Actually replaced the blades once. But it is 2x the $$. Just wondering if the King Cutter will give me the same performance from someone who has used one. 
Thanks for the response! Have a great grow this year!

I have a 6' Land Pride and I absolutely love it! Had zero issues with it. Definitely worth the money.

Guys, I'm thinking about buying a King Cutter rotary tiller. A 6 or 7 ft. Wondering if anyone has used one? Are they tough? I am in NW Florence County, I think I have most of the landmine rocks out. Still plenty of smaller ones & an occasional bowling ball sized will show up...thanks

Huntfish - don't get rid of clover for brassica.  In wisconsin,  clover will stay plenty green.  If we have our mild winters and not much snow till Jan,  they'll be on that clover hard..  I see it EVERY year.  Starting a brassica plot in fall isn't a guarantee....if fall you mean last week in July or 1st week in August fine,  but if you plant late August you better be on it with timely fertilizer.  I'd watch ?for rain in that last week in July,  first week in august if you are adamant about brassica.

Brassica and beans are your 2 biggest failed plots.  Both can be over browsed very easily.  I personally would not recommend getting rid of a good clover stand for a turnip or radish .  Clover comes back with a vengance in fall with the cool mornings,  don't under estimate it's power when everything else is brown.

I've tried a lot of different types of food plot. However, when I planted radish, purple top turnip or other mass plants, the deer will feed on this until the snow limit's them. The deer digging through deep snow to eat, will knock off those horn's, providing you with some nice shed's when the snow melts.

Crop rotation is definitely would be good. Been drought the last two falls for me so hard to get anything to grow. Been doing no til but you need buck wheat or something to cover. Deer in my area not crazy about brassica but they mow down the peas or beans before October.
