Hi,
Looking for advice on a 3PH Tiller to put behind a Kubota B2650 (26HP/19.5HP PTO). The dealer where I'm buying the tractor only sells Woods, which I understand to be a good brand, but the one he has in stock is their lower end model, only 4 tines and pretty darn expensive. I have looked at the King Kutter models, but the models I looked at seem to be missing the adjustable offset which I think may come in handy if I want to leave hard pack rows in-between tilled rows.
What I'm hoping to get is one wide enough to cover tracks if I run it centered (maybe 52 - 54 inches), 6 tines, forward rotation, and adjustable offset. And I want it to last forever and be cheap :laughing: Actually, money is not the primary factor. It's not going to get daily use or anything, but I want it to last and not leave any parts behind in the garden
I have looked at the Sicma T5-60 60 over at McGee's and it seems to fit my needs, but I have heard the heavier the better and the Sicma's seem on the light side compared to others. There was a Tarter I looked at that could be used both forward and reverse rotation, but the HP rating was above the 19.5 I have available at the PTO. Are the HP ratings given by the manufacturer's hard and fast rules on the low side? It seems once I get into models where the weight gets up to 500 - 600+ lbs the minimum HP rating jumps up to 25+
Thanks,
