I agree w/ bird.. you want your lowest gear to be good for a tiller.. if you plan on using a tiller. 1.75 mph is almost max ground speed for a tiller, assuming that also is the speed that your pto reaches operating speed.. etc. You want plenty of hp available to the pto if you are using a high ground speed.
For instance.. old ford 5 speeds were just barely capable of running a tiller. The 4 speeds were just too tall, even on the 8xx seiers that had the extra hp...
