At my age I should be selling things, not buying them.  However, at the price I couldn't turn it down. 
I think my brother in laws 700 Grizzly will pull it just fine.

Nice! Boar needs one of those!

Have one just like it deadeye. Have used it sparingly in the pasture, garden, hayfields, etc. A 700 Grizzly will handle it fine as I've pulled mine with a Polaris Sportsman 400. In these clay loam soils it's a little light so sometimes it takes going over the ground several passes to get it worked up. Some added weight helps. On lighter, sandier ground it should work better.

id give my left.....eyebrow for one of those. nice find!!

[Boar]

what do you plant DE, and when?

[deadeye]

I plant turnips and other brassicas. I usually plant too late.  Probably middle of August.
I usually just spray it with roundup and broadcast the seeds.

Couple weeds came up in a plot last year. 

[Boar]

lol, om thank yu

[deadeye]

Here's proof the dee use it all winter.

[Boar]

awsome!!

[Boar]

so i have about a half acre, i thinking on planting clover alfalfa strips, then in jusly planting burrasicas for late season. any thoughts

[LPS]

My little half acre chunk was wet even though on a high spot.  Had more clay than I thought.  Took many passes to cut the sod and that is after I had sprayed with Roundup 3 weeks earlier.  But you got seed free so just give her all and see what grows.  These guys know a lot more than I do.  If you could go out and cut it up and then do it again in a week or two may help to get it ground up nicely.

Boar,
One or the other but not both.  Either make it a clover/alfalfa OR brassicas.  Clover will last 4-5 years and needs mowing a few times a year.  Turnips can be planted fairly late (Middle of August). It would seem a shame to till the clover under to plan something else.

[Boar]

ok, that interesting, how come not both adjacent to the other? and what do u like todo?

[deadeye]

I guess I misread you post.  I thought you planned to have clover early and then brassicas in the same plot for later in the fall. 
I have plots that are part clover and part brassicas as well.
