Tiller Large rototiller

[Tritonman]

What are you guys running for a large rototiiller. I am dealing on a frontier 1207 93 inch model and am looking for feedback

When we grew potatoes we had 100inch Howards and Krones ...Howard were stronger / Krone did a better job but rusted badly to the point where the lids would need replacing and rust holes right through ...mechanically no real difference.

I'm going on my third year with my Frontier 72" tiller. It has been absolutely trouble free. I only wish the ujoints were easier to grease as the pto shaft shield is TIGHT and hasn't seemed to loosen up any.

The paint is a little on the tender side, but I simply rattle can it with jd green when spots arise.

Define "large", please.

I've been running a 72" Muratori for a number of years now, and it has been fine. Usual issues with lubing the pto shaft u joints, and it jumps quite a bit when you hit a large rock, but does a great job of churning up the soil. That said, it's really too large for our use, and I'm looking at a 48" tiller to use with the small tractor.

The 6-7 foot tillers are about the largest I've seen in a Cat I hitch configuration. Any 35-50 hp tractor should run them without problems.

The dealer also had some really large tillers... 8-12 ft. Cat II, much heavier and probably 75-100 hp needed to run them... used in production ag applications, not for gardens and food plots.

The shaft shields will loosen up or disintegret from the sunshine. I have to disenguage the tiller end from the shaft to grease that end. I am going to remedy that this winter.Its not large, just 58 inches dig..

About 3/4hp- 1hp per inch is normal depending on conditions

This one I am getting is 93 inches for tilling width, so my tractor (4720)will get a workout no doubt, but I do have a hydro.
