Which rototiller for a John Deere 4120?

[12VOLTMAN]

Hey guys,

I am working on some food plots for deer on my property and need some advice. I was originally thinking of getting a disc to bust up the ground after I plow it, but now I'm thinking a tiller might be a better fit. The plots will be generally small about 1-2 acres, but they are odd shaped and have trees mixed in making it a bit of an obstacle course for a disc. So I guess my question is which rototiller and how big do I get?
A 4120 has 43 engine horse and 35 PTO horse. I would like to get a six foot rototiller to completely cover the tire tracks but I'm not sure if 35 PTO horsepower is enough.
Also, does anybody have any experience with the new Countyline brand that Tractor Supply carries? Is it the same as King Kutter?

Any and all advice will be appreciated...Thanks

I just bought a tiller, post hole digger / auger, and rake from TSC. I was happy with the price. I brought the PHD home and the owner's manual says SpeeCo in Golden, Colorado. btw, when I saw how they mangled equipment with a forklift I refused to accept the tiller (lifted under the tines) and rake (bent a tine).

Just an added thought. The label on the PHD said "Farm Force". The workers at TSC said they all come from King Kutter - and they just advertise Countyline. So who knows how SpeeCo fits in. Maybe this is all corporate growth boosted by the stimulus package.

I have a King Kutter 6 ' rototiller .I use it with a 4610 Ford,52 hp. It works great. A rototiller is alot slower than a disk ,1st or 2nd low gear . Tom
