few questions

Confused in my mind (easy for me) over few things.
Want to break up 2 acres of land that for past 30 years or more used for pig pasture. If I remember correctly, board recommended using two bottom plow and breaking land and then using disc. Have hugh two bottom turning plows, not sure of type can not locate any mfg data. Any certain place to look. Was scrubing with wire brush, did let the wasp find me.
Break ground and then disc?
Disc is 20 gang tufline disc.
Any recommendations on best way to run plow and disc? Ran disc over ground but only turned about 2 inches after three rounds. Can not locate grease fittings on disc. There is a cup on edge where gangs start and few in middle. I rubbed grease into these cups to help. Disc and plow are both from early 70's when FIL bought them
Thanks for any suggestions.
 
to start with - Not enough info. is it flat land? - on a hill? - square? - round?
If it's flat, I like to find the center and plow the long way that way you can finish up any uneven edges. then disk the long way folowed by disking cross ways. Good Luck
 
If the equipment is from the 70s it is likely to have sealed bearings. Just run it after looking carefully. One acre plots are small enough to be hard to maneuver in. The plow will scour shiny in about one half acre, then pull easily. Tom has the direction and process covered. JimN
 
Probably find the cups are filled with grease then screwed down to lubricate, possibly metal on metal so you may have to do it a number of times if it has been sitting around, unscrew them and poke wire down in case grease is set hard.
Discs are not very good on hard compacted ground, better results if you do it after rain,
Better to break then disc.
