Hi,
I anticipate the new 3430HST will arrive before the grass starts to grow. That being so, I am ready to start shopping for a tiller and brushog.
I will be tilling and stumping a 10 acre farm field that had several hundred 40 year old trees cut down 3 years ago.
I also hope to make a little mad money tilling gardens for the summer folks.
Do I want a large tiller and risk being underpowered? Do I want a smaller tiller that will be inside the footprint of my big R4s? Do I want a smaller tiller with the slide feature (if it really works....???
----
As to brush hogging, I will be working in that stump filled field for a couple years and then I will just do small jobs and try again to make some mad money with it.
Do I try to go wide enough for the R4's? something like 6 feet.
Do I go with something smaller?
----
These questions are more towards what do you think the tractor is capable of vs what do you think I need?
----
Finally: lingering winter questions:
for Snow blower sizing, would you try to cover those wide R4's? What brands are more horsepower friendly than others? What brands are more horsepower hogs?
for scraper blades, what 80" brands will stand up to pushing snow in reverse in low range with this #3000+ Hydrostatic?
Thanks for your thoughts,
David
