So I stumbled across this on cl today:
Specs and price:
My tractor is 85hp (70hp PTO) and I got my rears set all the way out, so the outside edge to outside edge is 86".
Do you think I'll kill this tiller with my tractor? I got ground to till that have stumps and large roots just below the surface. But I also have areas that "should" have been cleared of all that via a root rate on a dozer. Once I get everything done the first year, I think I'll be fine going forward, except for the few inches my tires still stick out from the tilled area. I figured I'll just cut into the previous row slightly and probably be ok.
I called up the guy and he seemed like a straight talker. Tiller works great and is real smooth. Might need a tine or two replaced soon, but is otherwise in perfect mechanical shape according to him.
Seems like a good price for a commercial grade Maschio. At first I thought it was a B205, which I definitely would have jumped on. But the H205, even thought it is chain drive and not gear drive, appears to be a pretty stout unit. A B230 would be perfect for my tractor, but at this price, this might be close enough!
What do you guys think?
