Food plot working the 2610

Jacksonvly · Jul 30, 2018

Finally dry enough to till this morning.
This tractor feels so much more planted than my old while doing this, at times I actually felt bad for my 2000 series Deere while tilling.
Loving this machine thus far.

I don't know if it at all matters, but I did a bunch of spots for pumpkins this season. The areas I sprayed with generic roundup first are still 99% weed free. The ones I just ripped, raked off grass/weeds, then tilled have lots of weeds/grass poking up thru the pumpkin canopy. Spraying first made a huge difference in unwanted stuff later on.

Wow - your dirt looks like dirt

. vs the red/orange clay I call dirt here in NC.....

I sprayed it with glyphosate a few days ago. All the green is dead, it just doesn稚 know (or show) it yet. Under the gun for time and with near nonstop rains this summer, I had to do it while opportunity presented.

Nice. Mine took a few days to look "dead" too....yours just looked so healthy in the pic I didn't think it was sprayed

Your tiller looks to be doing a great job.

Your pic gives me topsoil envy

Nice and fertile, but not without a lot of small rock.
Got my oats and winter peas lightly tilled in, now it’s drizzling

. I hoped it would hold off until I put the radish, turnip and clover seed on top.

What size of tiller are you using with your 2610?

I run a 6 foot tiller on my 2610 and absolutely love it.

I have a small one for my 2610 like 50” and it doesn’t cover my wheel tracks and have been thinking about getting a wider one....what make is and does the 2610 run it good?

It's made by Taylor Pittsburgh and it is a rugged unit. The 2610 gear runs it very well. I turned my fuel up some for more power but even before that it worked well.

Over the years of buying equipment I notice dealers try to sell smaller tillers, don't know why but this 72 inch unit is the cats meow. I even tried it on a small Cub Cadet 26 hp Diesel tractor and that worked it very well also.

I haven't found anything the little 2610 is bad at. I love the thing.

Mine is a HST model wonder if that would make a difference?...my dealer put the tractor on the dyno before it was deliveried and it actually pumping out 28HP. How much did you turn your up was it hard to do? I’ve never heard of that brand of tiller possible Ontario Canada they are not available here. My tiller is an old JD one which I believe is actually for a large garden tractor lol I should of gotten a tiller when I got the tractor. But it does the job for now. I have no complaints about my tractor I love it everything Ive asked it to do it has with no problems.
