Buckeye Tractor (www.buctraco.com) sells customizable toolbar based equipment on which you can mount a variety of chisels, coulters, discs, and other tools.  It does get tedious to take a wrench to your toolbar again and again to switch out the tools, but you can always buy another toolbar later to have a dedicated one for each tool.

Mangels, large turnips, and rutabagas seem like the easiest crops to grow on a larger scale for animals without harvest being tedious.  Unlike potatoes and carrots, I wonder if you'd even need equipment to harvest those on a larger scale .  It would be fun to check out some old-timey books to see what they have to say about growing vegetable feed for animals.
