Re: 5 PTO Tiller for 25HP Tractor. 19HP to PTO

Buy one that covers the tractor treads.

I run a 6 footer with a 26hp. Kioti with no issues. I ran a 50 inch for many years because the dealer told me my machine wouldn't handle anything bigger, he was wrong.

So here's the deal and I think most guys on here would agree. Buy a big tiller, maybe bigger than your machine will handle. When your machine won't handle the new too big of a tiller you just bought you go into the kitchen and asks the wife, whoops you TELL the wife you needs a bigger tractor.

Around 3 days after she throws the loaf of bread at you in the kitchen she'll start to come around, at that time maybe discuss how the 2 of you are going to pay for the new machine.

Maybe throw in a, "but honey you wanted a bigger lawn!"

Then duck for cover.

Sometimes taking the advise from others works, sometimes it doesn't. In my life I've started to make my own determinations. Maybe you have a neighbor with a 6 footer you can "try" your machine with.

Whatever size you choose buy one that covers the tracks especially if you are tearing up your lawn. By the way dragging a log behind the tiller while prepping a new lawn works fairly well.

Haha thanks for the advice. Unfortunately it is me that is the tightwad... my wife would say get the 60HP tractor and throw the load of bread at me for trying to save money.

My neighbor does have a 6’ tiller but I don’t know if I would have to cut the driveline for it to fit and I am currently out of favors to ask as he has done plenty for me in the last few years before I got a tractor.

Would dragging a steel I beam work? I cut up all my logs into firewood already!
