Tiller Best heavy duty 3pt tiller?

mark2610d · Apr 28, 2009

I have searched this forum and still don't really know which tiller to buy.

I need a tiller that has very good tine wear properties and that will handle large food plots and one that will hold up very well. I was looking at CCM and they seem good.

What do you folks think is the BEST heavy duty tiller money can buy?

I need a 5-1/2 to 6 ft tiller that will dig at least 7-1/2" deep.

Thanks all.

I'm not a "tiller Expert". Budget and soil type needs to talked about and when you say large food plots, what size are you talking about 1 ac or 20 ac. If you get into commercial tillers the price sky rockets as compare to private use home owner tiller. What's the HP and outside to outside tire width of your tractor. The CCM people would go thru all this with you too. The KingKutter tillers hold well from what I've read on this site. I use KK blades on my machine and probably only till 3ac a year and I've gotten 4 years on them and there's probably 50 percent left on them. bjr

Since you want opinions, here is mine. I think it will be hard to beat Land Pride equipment.

I actually have looked at the Frontier, Sigmas, and Kuhn tillers for my JD 4720 tractor.....I think I am going with the Kuhn, my JD dealer recommends them over Frontier and way better than Tractor Supply stuff. The 74" one I want is costing me $3000.00. Its made for tractors that have at least 50HP, and will fit just right behind my JD 4720....Here are some specs.....

I have a Land Pride RTA3576. I have only used it once so far (the snow hasn't been gone too long up here) , but it did a good job at new tilling damp clay land. I paid a little over $4000.00.

What about the John Deere 673?

i'm spinning a 68" delmorino excellent machine only used it twice but worked great both times. thinking i'll use a 4" grinder and keep the teeth sharp so they cut well especially if i'm cutting sod.

I have had very good luck with Befco. Tilled seven acres for pasture/hay a couple years ago and ran across all manner of rocks that didn't even faze it. If the rock was too big it just bounces over them.
