If Tractordata.com is correct, first gear in that tractor is 0.2 mph - at that speed, you would literally have to
mark the tires to see if it were moving :laughing:
Which is a very GOOD thing - the first older tractor I bought would pull a 6 foot tiller OK, but I had to make (as already mentioned) several passes with it. First gear on the Long 460 is something like 1.2 mph. Fine for mowing, and nearly anything else EXCEPT tilling.
The AC 160 I got from a friend a couple years later, has the hi/lo range option and first is 0.6 mph - that tractor does a better job tilling in THIRD gear than the Long does in FIRST.
Both those tractors are around 40-45 horsepower and neither bogs down with a 6 footer -
Not disagreeing with anything that's already mentioned, just giving you a bit more info to
confuse you
In my case, I wanted a setup that would allow the tiller to cover
BOTH wheel tracks, and I got it - in yours, unless this
TractorData.com Farm Pro 2420 tractor information
is wrong, your overall width is 56 inches so you'll need to offset the tiller enough to
cover ONE wheel completely, and the
NEXT pass will cover the previous tire track (if you start in the center and do a CLOCKWISE, back-and-forth pattern)
Sorry for the ramble, first cup of coffee's finally kickin' in
