I just purchased a new New Holland TN95A with approximately 77 hp at the PTO. I have nearly new 6 foot King Kutter heavy duty tiller, but am looking for the best heavy duty rotary tiller that is out there which is rated for 70 to 80 PTO horse power. What are your suggestions? Thanks.
The best rototiller made worldwide is the
www.NorthwestTiller.com :drool::drool::licking:as it tills 14 inches deep and breaks up the hardpan in one pass and the seed bed is ready the minute you till the ground and you can add bed building attachments to build raised beds at the same time you till.
The smallest unit made for strawberry bed building "Starwberry Bedder"
would be the size unit you should look at if you seriously want another tiller.
this unit can be used without out the bedding tools too.
They come up used occasionally and the folks at northwest tiller rebuild them and sell the rebuilt units in trades.

The only 3 ways you could have an equivalent tillage method is:
The least costly method would be to:
1. Purchase a rototiller from Ken sweet and a 2 or three moldboard plow
from him and convert the exisiting plow shares to the
Weiss "Conservation Tillage Mini Moldboard Plow" which will suck down to
14 inches and have very little resistance if any in plowing due to the small
square area of the "Mini Mold Boards Plowshare and Sweeps"
2. Purchase a 2 or three bottom moldboard plow and replace the plow
shares with the "Weiss Conservation Tillage Mini Moldboard Plow" shares
which suck down to 14 inches then till the plowed ground deep with good
suck and very low resistance as the moldboard is very small and burys
the residue in on pass like the Berta rotary plow.
3. The third option is to purchase a "BCS" or "Grillo" two wheel tractor and
"The Berta rotary Plow" attachment to till 14 inches deep in one pass.
"The Berta Rotary plow" comes in a one way plow option or a two way
option to to allow you to turn around and go back into the same furrow
and continue plowing.

Ken Sweet is a proud sponsor in good standing of the forum and has been running a sale on his line of rototillers that he carries in stock and I would sincerely suggest that you contact him in regard to your quest for a better tiller.
