Rototiller for IH 784

sheamus · Apr 27, 2021

I was looking to buy a compact tractor, but recently was given an IH 784 (Utility model) with loader and grapple. This is great as it allows me to put my cash towards a zero-turn and have the best of both worlds.

But I am looking for a rotary tiller, and snow plow for the tractor now.

Will any 3pt hitch tiller work? Specs for the tractor are here: TractorData.com International Harvester 784 tractor information. Is there any spec in particular I should look for when buying a rotary tiller? It is an 88" wheelbase, I suppose I need something that big so I don't compact the soil I have just tilled.

I know the owner originally had a rear snow plow with IH logo on it, but he sold that. What are my options for replacing that? Thanks.

First, Wheel base is distance from center of front tire to center of rear tire. You want to look at the width to figure out how wide a tiller you need/want.

Utility Width:	74 inches [187 cm]
Row-crop Width:	75 inches [190 cm]
4WD Width:	74 inches [187 cm]

You also want a tiller that can handle the tractor's rated PTO HP, 68 in this case.

EDIT: It would be best to measure the width of the tires as those numbers are probably the narrowest settings for transport. I know both the row crop and utility wheels can be moved out for a wider stance or to match row crop width.
