I've been in the market for a tiller and by chance while talking at work, a friend told me he had an older one in his barn that he would sell for $450 and could even try it out before buying. He brings it over and it's a Befco G50 that's adjustable for offset but it covers my tire tracks perfectly when centered. I changed the oil and greased the fittings then went to work. My tractor is a Kubota B2320 DT and it didn't even seem to notice it attached. Since I didn't break the ground first, I made two passes, cross cutting, and did a real nice job. I'm not sure how deep it will cut but the ground is tilled at least 8-10" deep after the second pass. We've had almost continual storms for over a month so I figured it would be a mud hole since it had only been 2 days since the last rain but the soil looked nice so I continued. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'm going to till in some 8-8-8 and let it rest about a week before setting rows. I couldn't find any row hippers (bedders) around here like I wanted so I ordered some from back home in Louisiana from Steven's Tractor and they should be here next week. Anyway, I feel like I got a real blessing finding the tiller and the soil looks nice and black although the top is already dried in the photos.
