I'm interested in buying a friends JD 4310. 2004 model year with 150 hrs. I would intend to use it to plant and maintain no more than 14 acres. 11-12 in alfalfa and 2-3 in small grain food plots for quail.
I was thinking of using a PlotMaster or Firminator to disc, plant and compact. The property is completely flat and the soil is good. No hard pan no large rocks etc. Has been in alfalfa for some years.
Question is this. Does the 4310/ 32 HP have enough power to do that job? Pull a PlotMaster 6' wide version. Or the Firminator.
I am not an experienced farmer but I intend to try....
Your help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Don Stoulil
