Tiller Using my new to me tiller for 1st time (photos)

[DuaneW]

Using my new to me KUHN EL-32-150 tiller, seemed to do a very nice job. The tiller appears to have had very limited use by previous owner. Decided to go with this one over a KK11 because of the ability to offset it in the 'unlikely' event that my little tractor gets replaced with a little bigger one. Ground was a little wet, but still was able to cut it about 4.5" deep the first pass.

In all I am Very pleased with this tiller so far, but the dealer also had the next heavier series Kuhn 72" wide for only $100 more, after using this one, kinda wishing I had gone with it. But was afraid that it would push the little tractor around in heavy clay.

It does seem to be doing a fine job. I hope you dont have to till all the way to the house in your first pic.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm just a rookie here, but I'd say you need to upsize your equipment a bit.

Bet its as big as you want,I got the 5ft kk tiller with a 30 hp tractor and it seems a perfect match. Seems to me [after using a 25 hp,lighter, tractor with same size tiller],you can go faster get more done,not having to worry to much about tractor,if your tractor is bigger than tiller,if you know what I mean. Turning a little with tiller down and tilling is an example[not going just straight,back and forth],smaller tractor you worry about bending/breaking something if your tiller is a little large for it. One thing to break an implement cause tractor is to big for it,another to break tractor cause implement is to big for the tractor.

Thats what I was saying,5 ft tiller might be to big for you,6 ft,you need,what,about a 35-40 hp [heavy tractor]?

No,bigger is not always better,but on the other hand,if it works,than it works!
