Hi Folks,
I am looking into rototillers and after doing some reading in this forum I have decided its probably best to go with PTO type of machine. My garden is small now but in the next couple of years I plan on expanding it to about 1200-1500 sq feet.
I have a Ford 1710 to power it. It has 24 hp at the pto.
I have called a couple of local equipment dealers & both have a machine in stock.
One has a 58" Land Pride with a slip clutch.
The other has a 55" machine with a slip clutch that has the JD name on it although he doesn't think they themselves make it.
The price difference between the two is $100 so that's not an issue.
Does anyone have any experience with these machine? I'd also be interested in any info on machines made by other companies.
Thanks.
