Tractor Sizing What size tiller and gill to purchase?

Workaholic · Oct 25, 2009

I am soon to be an owner of a ct230 (sometime this week) and looking into attachments now.

I have the winter setup all figured out for my commercial / institutional sidewalk snow plow rig

When summer time comes around its main purpose will be grading for my hydroseeding business..

What size tiller should i buy for this machine?

What size gill / soil pulverizer can i run with this machine?

Will it have sufficient power for a 6 foot bush hog?

Thanks for the help!

i run a offset 48" king kutter rotary tiller that works perfect for the ct230. as for brush hog i run a woods bb60x extreme with slip clutch runs it well "imho" i think this is the best brushhog out there, most manufactures list rear pto hp ratings for their equipment, hope i helped.

I'm planning on getting a 5' king kutter tiller for my CT230 next year. I've heard of others having pretty good luck with it (at least on the Kioti side) and supposedly it just covers the tire tracks.

I use a 72" Caroni finish mower with my 230 and I am able to run in HI gear with no problems at all. I have mowed some pretty tall and thick grass with it but I am sure it won't compare to what you will be mowing with a bush hog.

My dealer had told me that the 230 was capable of running a 84" mower but I don't have any experience with something of that size.

I have used a 60" tiller and it seemed to work out well. I have the GP tires and my width is somewhere around 63" or so (it is kind of hard to measure) but I could not see any tire tracks with the 60" tiller.
