Most food plots start with breaking ground, and an ATV disc harrow is the tool for it. The Impact Implements 4.5 ft ATV/UTV Disc Plow / Harrow is a multi-purpose implement for food plot preparation, gardening, breaking up clumps of soil, and chopping unwanted weeds or crop residue.
What the 4.5 ft disc plow / harrow is
This disc (SKU IP4471_BK) uses offset discs that repeatedly slice the ground, loosening dirt as they cut. It has eight notched, hardened steel blades arranged in two sets of four, giving 54" of cutting width. The blades run at a 15° angle of attack, and each axle has two heavy-duty roller bearings for stability.
Because it chops weeds and crop residue as it loosens dirt, the disc is useful at both ends of the season: breaking new ground in a fresh plot, and working an old plot back down before replanting. Gardeners use it the same way, to turn under spent plants and break up clumps of soil before the next crop.

What it mounts to
The Impact Implements disc plow / harrow is listed for ATVs, UTVs, side-by-sides, garden tractors and lawn tractors. On an ATV or UTV it pins to the Impact Implements manual One-Point Lift System or the Impact Implements HD hydraulic One-Point Lift System. Garden tractors can use a CAT-0 3-point hitch or sleeve hitch. The hydraulic lift makes it easy to raise the disc for turns and travel between plots.
How to prep a food plot with an ATV disc harrow
- Soil test first. Lime and fertilizer needs vary by site; a soil test takes the guesswork out.
- Kill or mow heavy cover. Discing works best when tall growth is knocked down first.
- Wait for workable soil. Disc when the soil is moist but not wet; muddy ground clumps and dry, hard ground is tough to cut.
- Make several passes. The first pass cuts in; cross passes at an angle break the soil up further.
- Work in lime and fertilizer with your final passes.
- Broadcast and pack. Spread seed and roll it with the Impact Implements cultipacker with weight tray for good seed-to-soil contact.
Small-seeded fall blends and clovers do best planted shallow, so a firm, smooth seed bed matters. Good options include Tecomate Max-Attract for fall attraction and Tecomate King Ladino White Clover for a perennial plot. Check each seed page for planting dates by zone and seeding rates, and see our full food plot seed collection.
Pairs well with
Before discing very hard or compacted ground, a pass with the Impact Implements middle buster can help open it up. After discing, the Impact Implements cultivator can loosen and furrow the surface further, and the landscape rake helps clear debris. Browse every attachment in our Impact Implements collection.
