Plowing with a G this morning

That was the reason for buying it.  I was going to have the neighbors do some plowing for me, but since the G came with a plow I figured I'd give it a try.

We bought this place about three years ago.  We own about five acres of what you see. I don't really have much of a farming background, but we have a hen house (in the first photo) with 2500 hens producing organic eggs.  The few acres of tillable land that we own has been planted in hay the past three years we've been here and I've been looking to do something more with it.  I talked to our organic marketing cooperative and they were looking for some winter squash this year, so I'm going to put in three acres of squash...

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'll slowly figure it out.

Our local Farm and Fleet has a four foot King Kutter on sale for about $700:

I've read mixed reviews on this unit.  Many of the reviews say it isn't aggressive enough. Some of the reviews said they couldn't even get it to cut in a plowed field.  I notice that the gangs aren't adjustable.  I'm not sure what to make of the reviews.  Many times folks just have no idea, like a fellow who complains because his new rototiller won't till up sun-baked clay, but at $700 I'm leery enough to ask questions...

Anybody have any thoughts or ideas?

That's a good point.  I do have a spare rear furrowing bar that somebody welded some sort of hitch onto.  The mounts for the furrowing bar are a little more stout.

Other than that I do have a 27HP sears garden tractor that might yank it around.

I'm wondering if this setup might be better:

It's the same weight as the first one (300+ lbs) so there is a lot more weight per disc...

Any other ideas?  There is a 7' double cultipacker down in the ditch that could be made usable again.  I suspect it would be better used after a disc has broken down the largest of the chunks.

I was told that it's OK to pull from the drawbar but not from the drawbar support. The drawbar mounts to the rear axle housing and look pretty strong. Bob

That's what this one was made for:

It came with a 1 7/8" ball coupler.  That came in handy for a little bit.  I had the implement dealer put the disc on the back of my truck with a forklift.  I then drove 30 miles back to a neighbor's place and used his skid steer to lift it off the truck and then towed it down the road to my place with the ball on the truck.  

I then unbolted the ball coupler and welded up a pin hitch adapter for the tractor.
