So I am new to all of this. Landowner is ok with us trying some in a few small places and logging roads if we can come up with some equipment to break ground. Dad is in sheet metal so we came up with a design of a chisel plow. So my research I have came up with buckwheat and a pea of some sort to plant in late spring or early summer then till under in august to plant what you want for fall. These areas will be small with biggest maybe a quarter acre. Any help on what to plant and where to buy seed or if would be worth the time and money. With these areas annuals are our best bet. We are just tryin to put some extra forage out there and bring in a few more deer.

Should note that I do have a four wheeler just don't have the money for that fancy equipment to use with it. That groundhog max is a good idea for those that have seen them and I think someone on here had one for sale last year just to much to pay for me

I have the groundhog max and it worked ok for me. I have a bombardier 400xt, which doesn't have a tow package. I had to purchase a bolt mount. It will really work a lot better if your quad has built in hitch mount. I'm looking at the ratchet rake for attaching to a front end loader. If you can get access to a skid steer or small tractor, these look decent for small plots. I planted an oats, peas, ladino clover, and mixed in chicory. They really hammered the chicory after the cold set in. I would recommend putting in some. Even if it doesn't pan out, you will learn something and experimenting is half the fun.
