    How much HP to plow?

    Not enough room to store another tractor. My Wife can do the tilling but it hurts Her. I have several foot surgeries and My foot swells up after using the tiller. Thinking about just Me using it, it's the fastest way.

    How much HP to plow?

    I have the Ariens pto tiller takes a couple of hours to put on and take off. a tiller is done before that. Wonder if anyone ever home built a plow to go about 6-9" deep?

    How much HP to plow?

    Wife and I are getting more mileage on Us. It is getting harder to use a tiller due to medical problems. I have a 16 Hp Ariens with hydro trans, wheel weights and chains. Could this be used to pull a small plow? What size? Where to get? Thanks, Mark.
