1. Equipment Compatibility

Plotmaster: 500cc ATVs to 50HP Tractors

The Hunter 400 and Hunter 500 are designed for maximum versatility.

• Hunter 400: Perfect for ATVs and UTVs on small to mid-sized plots.
• Hunter 500: Built for larger UTVs and compact tractors up to 50HP.
• Works seamlessly across mixed properties, no need for multiple tools or setups.

Firminator: Best for Bigger Tractors

Firminator shines on properties where a 50HP+ tractor is already part of the operation. If you’re managing large, open fields and don’t need ATV versatility, it’s a strong choice.

2. Seeding Systems: Full Control vs Fixed Flow

This is one of the biggest differentiators between the two brands.

Plotmaster Versa Seeder + Control Box

• Seeder operates independently of the cultipacker
• Toggle seed on or off from the control box on the fly
• Raise or lower the unit without interrupting seeding
• Keep planting rates even while lifting over stumps, wet ground, or rough terrain
• Consistent, even distribution of mixed seed blends

This design gives you complete control, whether planting small plots, navigating obstacles, or switching between seeded and unseeded sections.

Firminator’s Cultipacker-Driven Seeder

• Seed drops only when the cultipacker is rolling
• To cross obstacles or back out of wet ground, you must lift the unit, but lifting stops seeding
• No way to “pause” or seed independently without disrupting the process

Firminator is solid on smooth, open fields, but less flexible for mixed terrain or variable seeding strategies.

3. Primary Tillage Capability

Plotmaster Advantage: Aggressive Cutting Power

With double rows of discs and an optional plow attachment, Plotmaster handles true primary tillage:

• Breaks virgin ground for new plots
• Cuts clean firebreaks
• Smooths and clears roads
• Prepares the toughest of seedbeds with fewer passes

Firminator, by contrast, uses a single-row disc setup, no plow, and a fixed cultipacker.

4. Versatility in the Field

This is where Plotmaster shines:

• Disc, plow, seed, drag, and cultipack all in one implement
• Independent controls for every function for modular applications when needed
• Adjust on the go, no stopping, swapping attachments, or extra passes

5. Which Implement Fits Your Property Best?

Scenario	Better Fit
Have an ATV/UTV	Plotmaster
Have a compact tractor (≤50HP)	Plotmaster
Have a large tractor (>50HP)	Firminator
Planting mixed seed blends	Plotmaster
Need primary and minimal till functionality	Plotmaster
Small to Mid-Sized Plots (0.5–10 acre plots)	Plotmaster
Larger Food Plots Only (10+ acre plots)	Firminator

Final Thoughts

Both brands build quality implements, but they serve different users.

If you want one implement that can:

• Handle primary tillage
• Plant mixed blends evenly
• Work well behind ATVs, UTVs, and tractors
• Give you complete control in the field and on the fly

…then Plotmaster is the more versatile, efficient choice for most properties.
