West Chazy, New York | I did a lot of acres that looked about like that in Hawaii. My preference was a 42 inch blade disc. Mine were Towner, but Rome and Greenline are just as good. A push bar on front of the tractor will protect it some, and going half widths of the disc will allow the operator a better chance to see what is ahead. The next pass should be at a right angle. In Hawaii we had termites to eat the wood and year round warm weather and it was typically six months from start to ready to plant. I did some measurements and 50 ton of dry matter per acre was common. Fifty pounds of urea may speed up the decomposition some if you have a high carbon to nitrogen ratio.
There is a knack to doing it, and only a trusted operator should be doing it. There are lots of things that can go wrong. I absolutely refused to do fields that had been mowed. The stumps would ruin the tires. We would go around big trees and come back for them after the shorter stuff was down. A few really rough fields we pulled the disc with a dozer with the blade about a foot off the ground
