tilling

[LBrown59]

amp this is wxactly why i want to do it. and i'm keeping my cost's down by buying good in shape used equipment. to have fun, have an excuse for more seat time, and more importantly have a reason for owning a tractor after i'm done or appear to be done working around the house. hard to justify for 25 hours of snow removal a year.

What you have to watch is that the finance charge on used don't make new less expensive.

all good stuff keep it coming, now for my next question. i'm running a 28hp montana and here we go a tiller i'm not supposed to run. i am trying out a 68" delmorino from the owner to see it i can use it. according to specs i'm not supposed to be able to run it. the lender ran it on a 31 hp bota that actually only has 1 1/2 more pto hp than me. and he spun it with no problems. now i did a worse case scenario last night and i broke new ground through sod and it never lugged the motor once. i buried the tiller i didn't just tickle the surface. also i watched the shaft to see if anything else might be happening and that never seemed to slow at all. barring all thing i am buying this on monday for less than halfof what they sell for around here. the tines look fine. does anyone see any foreseeable problems? please keep it real as i know by all of the charts that i should'nt be using this. but if i dosen't give me any problems, why not?

Just as a comparison, my Kioti is 34 hp and I think 26.5 pto hp. I have a 60" King Kutter II,I can bust up sod all day long, the only thing that even comes close to slowing the engine down is getting big rocks stuck in it. I could have easily gone with a 72" tiller.

lbrown paying cash for everything certainly does make used in good shape loss expensive than new.
