Tiller Agric 48" tiller on a Kubota 7510??

[tekavec]

A local tractor implement dealer has an Agric 48" tiller that's hardly been used. He said it might be a little too big for my kubota 7510. Is anyone familiar with this brand of tiller and would my tractor handle it ok? I'm in the market for a tiller and any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks, Scott

I pull a 45" gear drive Agric behind a 15hp Mitsubishi tractor with no problems with power or lifting it.
I would certainly hope a 21hp B7510 could handle a 48" model

I'll be getting a 48" tiller for my tractor, the dealer didn't seem to think it was an issue.

I have a KK 4 foot tiller behind my B7500 and it is the ideal size as far as I am concerned. Any tiller you are considering needs to be offset to one side to till the tire track on that side. The KK is offset several inches to the right side of the tractor and it works great.

I run a pre-owned Yanmar RS-1200 tiller (48" wide) on my Kubota B7510HST. No problems.

I just got a Farmtrac 48" to use on my JD455. This is a 22HP (18 PTO hp) super duty garden tractor and Deere also sells a 48" tiller for these and the latest X700's. I tried mine my out at the dealer before I paid for and loaded it and it works great. Based on this I would say most any small CUT should be able to run a 48". The dealer did recommend that if I was going to till virgin ground to make 2 passes with the first only about 3-4" deep.

I'm sure soil conditions also make a difference and up here in western NY state we have lots of clay and lots of rocks.

I hope this helps.

I run the agric 48" behind my B7510 and have no problem. I just take it slow and easy. However if you use it going downhill keep your hand on the 3pt control because it will still be pushing while you're trying to brake. It's pucker time. Harris

hz293, pushing in the clutch will stop the tiller from turning.

I run a 60" Agric behind my New Holland TC24D. It is 24 Gross and 17 or 18 PTO. Power wise it is fine, though sometimes I can feel the hydro seem like it is getting hotter than normal so I slow down a little bit more. So I would think you would be fine losing a foot and only 3 HP less.

Also consider number of tines , as well as width.
There are some chain-drive ~48" models out there with as little as 24 tines, while a sturdy gear-driven tiller , like the KingKutterII has 36 tines.

Number of tines = amount of work getting done = Power needed.

Dan239, which KK do you have?
I've been looking at the KKII 48" Gear driven model TG-48 for my BX2350.
KK website says 20-35 PTO hp, though I've heard people using smaller power plants.

The gear drive model weighs 600#

The Chain drive 48XB is 425#

I'd normally make a couple of passes anyway, so taking it easy is already part of my normal operation.

I like TG-48 for it's 8" Max depth, the 48XB is something like 4' or 5", big difference in my book.


Any thoughts???
