5 FT tiller on NH 1920

[Tombstone]

I have a NH 1920 2wd. I am looking at purchasing a 5ft King Kutter tiller. Does anyone know if my tractor will handle this tiller. I will be tilling in new ground as well a plowed ground. Thanks for any help.

1920 is heck of lot more tractor that my 1700. I use a 5 ft KK tiller with no issues at all with my tractor. 1920 is more than adequate and then some for your need. Welcome to TBN blue.

I run a 5' KK behind my 1900 with no problems. If you don't have a FEL you might need to add some weight to the front end .

No problems with a 5 footer on my ford 1720. 24 hp on PTO. Should be no problem with your tractor.

Thanks to all for your input. I'll buy a KKII this weekend. I really enjoy reading this board. A lot of expertise here.
Thanks again!!

Hi Tombstone! I owned and ran a 52 inch tiller on my Ford 1920 tractor for over 15 years and you should have no problem running a 5' tiller as long as you gear down and keep the RPMs up to 540 rpm and in new ground, make several passes. If the ground is very hard, make the first pass only 4 or 5 inches deep then the next pass, drop it down to the full depth the tiller can do. Remember to till in several directions esp in new soil. Many times, I plowed the soil first if you have very thick sod in new ground. This seems to help eliminate the issue of clumps of sod and grass in the garden! If you want a great soil bed, plow or till in the fall then till again in the spring! Ken
