6' Tiller

Yeah, HST is a must have to be able to creep slow enough.
I used to use a 54” tiller with a 20 hp pto GST tractor. In L1, it did the job for me, but HST sure is better for hard ground conditions.

What HP is needed to consider purchasing a
tiller for your tractor:

Consider this: A typical 5-ft rotary tiller with four tines can be run by a 25-hp tractor and the same 5-ft rotary tiller with six tines would need a 31-hp tractor to operate the tiller at peak performance. A 40-hp requirement jumps to nearly 50 hp with six tines.

Good information for FORWARD ROTATION TILLERS.

Power requirements for REVERSE ROTATION TILLERS also needed.

I'm going to stick to forward rotating. With the WD45, it's a former pulling tractor, so she's not stock. From what I've been told, she won a few trophies back in the day. She fights a 9 shank all purpose plow and could do it with a little more weight on the tires and a beefed up cooling system.

Unless the WD 45 is geared for about 1 mph at decent throttle setting, it's too fast.

I'm curious if anyone out there can point me in the direction of a good 3 point tiller that can handle red clay and go a good 8" deep.

Top speed in 1st is 2.4 mph. So it should suffice.


I would not invest in a roto-tiller based on that assumption.

We have an old LONG tiller 8' long. Never had a 120 HP tractor. Lot of times used behind 1900 model Ford. But the 1900 can go so slow that we get by using it. 8N, not a chance. The 4630 and 5610's do fine. Never used it with the cab tractor.

If it can't, I've got a 5400 and a 5420 at my disposal. Besides, as previously mentioned, this WD45 isn't a stock version. It had some work done in it by a previous owner who was a puller. She'll pull a 9 shank all purpose.

I use a 6ft KK tiller with my Ford 3910, 42 PTO HP. 1st gear, 1.7mph at 2,000 rpms. I run the tiller at half throttle. No problems at all. Extreme soil conditions or heavy sod you may have to make more than one pass. If tilling a garden, one pass will do it fine. I "fell" into mine. Slightly used. $500.
