Tiller get it wright first time

[tall dude]

Want to buy tiller my tires are 70" wide want 72" tiller my PTO hp is 32hp the tiller says 35hp to 50hp the soil on my farm is very soft so do you think it will work fine or is it to much strain on the pto ?

your first gear is .9 mph - likely slow enough that, with "soft" soil and not too deep on first pass, it should do fine. I have a 6 foot Priefert for my AC 160 ( 40 pto, first is .7, second is .9 - I typically till in first, but could do with second. Another 40 horse Long I have has 1.4 mph first, and I used that tiller on it - just took a couple more passes for same tilth.

Point being, neither of those tractors ever breaks a sweat with a 6 footer (6 tines per rotor) so yours should be OK - not a beast, but usable... Steve

Oh, and once you've used a tiller that covers BOTH tires, you won't wanna go back...

I have run my 72" tiller with my 820 with 31pto hp but most of the time I use my 4520 with 50 pto hp. Both can get the job done but the higher hp can maintain higher rpms' and at a much faster ground speed.

I run a 60" KK on my 18 hp massey and it don't break a sweat. Run it at 1500 rpm and 2500 rpm is 540 pto. You should have no problem.
