Bobcat CT120
I want a 4ft tiller for my Bobcat ct120 which has about 14 hp at the pto. I looked at the KingKutter XB which is rated for sub compacts up to 25hp. The hitch will not work on my Harbor Freight quick hitch which I like very much. I would have to take the quick hitch off when using the tiller. All my other attachments work with the quick hitch so changing back and forth would be a pain.
The KingKutter 2 4ft model is sold at Northern Tool, is offset (which is ok for me) but is rated for 25-35 hp.
Will my CT120 operate the KingKutter 2 satisfactorily? I have a 21 hp engine.

Maybe, I say that because, my BX does just fine with a 4' tiller mainly because it is a HST and I can till as slow as I need to. My bro. has a gear tractor about the same PTO hp as yours and it won't go slow enough for him to use my tiller, it bogs his tractor so he is really limited as far as how deep he can use it. If your low gear is slow enough for a tiller, it should work fine.

Thanks for your quick reply. What is the pto hp of your HST BX?

I use a 48" Kubota rototiller on the back of my Kubota B7100 gear deive tractor with no problem. I have 13 hp at the PTO and my tractor runs the tiller just fine.

Update- I ended up with a 60 inch KingCutter which works fine in my peat/sandy loam soil with no rocks. The hydrostatic transmission allows me to adjust my speed to conditions. I can always remove some of the tines if I think there is not enough power and still be able to cover my tire tracks. Plus I feel that a 60 inch tiller will sell better when I give up gardening some time in the future (when I'm dead).
