There was a recent thread with tons of good info about tiller brands and all the various stuff to think through. The only thing I couldn't find is my current dilemna: size vs. HP.
I've got a 28 HP JD and keep getting different info from different dealers about what I can handle. JD dealer sez 5' all day long, Kubota sez around 4'. Saw a 5' Rotovator at an auction last week and frankly it scared me, darn thing was a tank! It was a great machine but I'm nervous about purchasing anything right now for fear it will be too large.
I've got between 4-6 acres of former ag. ground I want to put into wildlife plots so I'll be using it a couple times per year on fairly big spaces. I can afford a tiller so I don't want to monkey around with plowing then discing the rest of my life away. Kinda like the idea of just one pass.
The afforemented thread talked me into King Kutter brand at TSC, which I just looked at (AGAINjavascript:void(0)

Thanks for any advice!
