I see a lot of post/advertisements for 3pt tillers, but i was under the impression that they were primarily for light duty garden use. I am not familiar with tillers so please bear with me for a few questions.
We plant approx. 15 acres of corn and oats and i am curious if the new tillers would cut down on fuel and time required to prepare the fields. Currently we plow, disc, and then drag the fields which ends up requiring going over the fields 3 to 6 times. If the new tillers are capable of this much use i would think that even if you have to go slower, one time through the field would still end up being faster and cheaper.
Are the new tillers capable of being used for larger tracts of ground?
Has anyone used a tiller for this much acerage? If so how was the experience?
How well do the tillers hold up?
Obviously fields will have more rocks than a garden, so how do the tillers
handle rocks?
Any info and recommendations will be appreciated.
