I have 30hp at the PTO, on 6. Not an issue if you rip the grass with a subsoiler first. The Hydro lets you creep along at about 1km/h so its done in one pass to full depth. I think the biggest mistake with a rototiller is just trying to go too fast.

I have the same tiller also known as chinese yct-066, Its all right enough. But in new areas I always go for an explore with the subsoiler in two directions first, finds all the big rocks!

Get one that is a few inches wider than your back tires so you can cover your tracks. I have a Westward Branded, Chinese built one, works great.

No part 2 yet I have to get the wife to take some action video from the side, but its snowing today so it might be a tall order lol. The ziptie on the right was only for alignment but has already been made obsolete on the left side. Currently printing off the right side with the update that...

I put some time in this winter to fixing the the John Deere quick tach manual pins only issue. Finally warm enough to install and start testing it out, worked well changed the bucket a couple dozen times before it got dark.

Good lesson in not modifying and maintaining the shear bolt / slip clutch mechanism on the PTO shaft. Tough transmission though.

Build a good product, forever have your name associated with it.

If you are cutting a large lawn auto steer is a nice option, it may seem silly but only overlapping only 10cm saves a pile of fuel and time. Plus it does the turns and headlands automatically. Not to mention the finished result looks pretty good.

Zero turn is great if you have tons of obstacles. The gas powered ones are fast but eat fuel like crazy. If you have long straight runs zero turn gets to be a chore to control. Zero turn is a one trick pony only cuts grass. If your area is predominantly open a little diesel tractor is much more...

The new ones are the most reliable, until they are not. Reliability takes maintenance, so any brand that has parts readily available and somewhat generic is the best pick.

Had to take a vw jetta filter off with a 24” pipe wrench once….. hope you can get it without that level of hassle. Ive noticed a troubling trend, lube rack people bucking on filters with an electric impacts. No training, big problems. Factory filters are also a chore as the oring is not...

Hire a bulldozer for the roots, clean up after him. If you can get a permit to burn, and its safe to do it gets a pile of work in very little time.

But you can always buy the new model year, before the end of the actual year. I bought a 2010 cummins in the fall of 2009.

Get cats Had rodent issues until I sourced some good semi feral barn cats, within ten acres do not even have moles anymore. Feed them just enough they know where home is, and in the winter.

Other than the old truck being a rolling oil leak from dried up seals, lets say all the rest worked. It will eat more fuel than two new ones. At current fuel prices the operational cost difference could be put towards a newer one. Also just like tractors the newer trucks are generally much more...
