MF 1528 & 60" kk tiller

[the6shooter]

Well I did it, purchased the 60" King Kutter tiller for my 1528, and used it today. and it did a wonderful job, on a 30'x30' garden. one thing I did learn, was that, I can'T bury the thing on the 1st. pass. seems maybe a sub-soiler may, be useful in the future making garden, with hard ground
But, I was still impressed with the results that I got.
I just thought some of you might like to know

Thanks for the post, I have been shopping around for a tiller and your post really helps out.

Hi David, I envy you with your new tiller....

I would advise as you have found out , first pass on virgin soil you have to take it easy or she might bounce around abit and heaven forbid you hit any stones....

What I have done in the past ,since I have an old plow is cut through the virgin soil a few days ahead of my tilling with the plow which takes care of any packed surface loosening everything up, then let it dry out a couple days before tilling which turns it to fluffy powder... Hopefully it won't rain hard and wash it all away

Sounds like your soil must not be frozen, hopefully mine will be ready soon...

Also for a 30x30 plot its just gettin warmed up ,hope your gonna do more than that...
