    What size disc harrow?

    Consider also purchasing a good subsoiler, it'll break up compacted soil and allow the disc to work better. Once you decide which disc to purchase, I'd suggest fabricating a steel frame sized to hold solid concrete blocks if additional weight is desired.

    KX040-5 vs KX057-5

    You'll miss the 6 / 1 if doing any dirt work. Consider renting a KX057 to see if that's what you want. Don't worry about the trailer, get the machine you really want.
