XT3 GSX Chisel Plowing
Just finished up my wildlife food plot using my chisel plow I just bought. It worked well digging up virgin hard-packed soil. Lots of dead weeds at first to clear from the tines so my wife followed me around helping to clear the weeds. There’s not much top soil so tilling or moldboard plow was out because of the clay. After supper I planted some radish and crimson clover and raked the seeds in.

I don't think you understand how a moldboard plow works. Virgin soil, dead weeds, hard..... that's exactly what a plow is good at. A plow will flip clay. Believe me, I've plowed hundreds of acres. (Your XT3 might not pull it, but that's not the plow's fault.) Chisel plow.... yeah, like you found out it's a pain. Plugging up. That's actually not a chisel plow, but whatever. Find you a moldboard and use it next year. You'll have better results. Glad you are happy with what you ended up with, but you can get better results with the right tool.

Looks like a good seed bed, regardless of how you got it. Seen a couple guys buying deer plot seed mix a couple weeks ago while I was picking up Roundup for fallow land.

I don't know if I'd go that far. As much clay as is there it will likely not grow much, if anything. Heavy clay usually burns up in the summer.

Can't help what the soil is, still a good looking seed bed. His soil may be a bit sandy, he's not very far from the ocean. Of course, he isn't far from swamps and marshes, little of everything in his neck of the woods, including really nice farm land. They get fairly frequent rains in that area being so near the coast.

I’m very pleased with the seed bed. Everything in sprouting now and looking healthy.

I didn’t want to turn up any clay. The top soil is only about 4” deep and lots of clay in it too. I came real close to buying a plow but I realized I would turn my somewhat poor soil into useless soil. At some point I might get a load of mulch and mix it in. Maybe in few years I’ll get a plow once I build up the soil.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
