Yesterday’s afternoon project that tiller is probably older then some of the people in here as well as being extremely heavy 2500 lbs for a 7 footer.

I borrowed one of those Northwest rotavators once, but it was around 12'. Had to put it on a 95 HP tractor. It pulverized the sod in one pass. Made 2 or 3 passes anyway. Very well built machines.

Yes 5 times it’s about 60 years old last thinning was done we saw two export logs and a long stick of domestic out of them.

This one is on a 6410 JD and if memory serves takes more power to turn then most 12’s that have been built. Original build specs are a little nutty but it was designed for Christmas tree stumps so everything is doubled up even the gear box is bigger. If a stump gets wedged in the tub it’ll stop the tractor dead in it’s tracks running 1000 rpm on the pto no belt slipping with this one. One cool feature is being able to flip pto speeds with that setup you just swap the pulleys and driveshafts.
