I am about to take delivery of my BX2200 in the next week or so. I would like to get a tiller for it, but haven't been satisfied with what I've found. I followed the recent thread on tiller sizing, and since my tractor is definitely on the small side, I have been particularly worried about sizing. So far, I've found the following:
Kubota 37" ~ 1700
LandPride 48" ~ 1600
KingKutter 60" ~ 1000
Presumably the difference in prices reflects quality and to some extent, name-brand recognition. Price-wise, the KingKutter is the most attractive, but I'm afraid it's going to be "too big." I don't think it is too heavy, but might require more horsepower than I can provide. Is there any reason I couldn't just remove outer sets of tines to make effective tilling width narrower? Would I be stupid to assume that this could make it "not too big"? The only tillers I've ever used have been walk-behind (or drag-behind, depending on how you look at it), so I'm not sure which direction to go.
