Did a little more digging on this tiller. They look pretty nice and it sounds like they are distributed from a reputable company with a good warranty.

There has been lots of bad press the last few years on TR, search diligently.

Oh, yeah

Yeah, I dug a bit deeper and there are some unhappy people out there from their experiences with Tar River. Thanks for the heads up!

That looks like a nice little tiller. I'm a little surprised it is listed as gear drive. I've got a little Howard with belt drive which always seemed like a really cheap solution, although it seems to work.

What brand/model of tractor is it being used with. I really dislike that my 48" Howard is narrower than my tractor. Anyway, get a tiller as wide as your wheels assuming your tractor can power it.

Not my tractor. But their tractor is a Kubota L2301. I have only spent very little time using it. Do you think it could handle a 5' tiller?

I'm not finding the L2301 on the web. There is a B2301, an L2501, and an L3301.

The B2301 is rated with a 20.9 engine HP, and 17.5 PTO HP.
The L2501 is rated at 24.8 engine HP, 20.5 PTO HP.
The L3301 is rated at 33 engine HP, and 26.2 PTO HP.

Anyway, I'd probably go with the smaller tiller if you have the B2301.

Although it would be nice if you could find a "demo" model to try out.

Hmmm....

Ok, Kubota puts out some recommendations for various B series and L series tractors.


For the B2301, they seem to recommend 42" to 58" tillers.
