Tiller Convert rotary tiller to bush hog

[petergreen]

I have this rotary tiller which I do not use very often:



And I'm thinking of buying a bush hog for my tractor. Now, before I do that, I was wondering if you guys think if it's possible to convert my rotary tiller into a "crusher", like this:



It seems that I can buy the "blades": MIL ANUNCIOS.COM - Martillos desbrozadoras trituradoras

I would use it for light work (clearing some grass in my garden). Not for going into the forest and crush trees. Do you think it could work?

Sell the tiller and buy a flail mower.

I agree with Panhapp. I don't think it will spin fast enough. Tillers muscle through, cutters use velocity to shear. It's yours to play with though.

Not a bad suggestion at all... I'll try to talk to local dealers; I know my tiller is old and not very strong... so I'm not expecting to get too much from it (maybe 400 - 500€).

I've been looking for new flail mowers. Prices are in the range from 1500€ to 5000€, here in Spain. My machine is 40HP.

Thanks. So I suspected that the spinning velocity would not be the same for a tiller and a frail mower. I guess I'm better buying one than experiment with the tiller.
