Overview
An owner-operator documents the full two-day soil prep cycle for a dove and deer food plot using a 4066R with a Krone flail mower and disc harrow. He explains why he mows first, why he runs diagonal disk passes, how he uses cruise control and 2WD vs 4WD on hard-packed ground, and his multi-pass weed-burial strategy before planting brown top millet. Best for owners curious about real-world field prep workflow with a compact utility tractor.
