665 tiller

[mikejrd3]

I have a chance to pick up a John Deere 665 tiller. The specs say hp range is 30-50 pto.
I really like the tiller, looks very heavy duty. I'd be putting it on an l3200 Kubota , 25 hp pto.
I know the tractor is heavy enough to handle it and I'm wondering how it would do power wise.
I'm likely upgrading to a larger tractor in a few years anyway. Only using the tiller to put in gardens and an occasional food plot. Have any of you run one with this size tractor?

Thanks
Mike

I think you would be fine.
I'm running a 72" King Kutter II on my 28.3 PTO HP tractor and it handles it OK.

Will handle it fine, as you can go slower if running out of power. Also can make more than one pass if that gets you tilled to your satisfaction.
Or you could get the Deere tractor to go with the Deere tiller...
