I always boxblade in a area that has not been tilled before.I actually pulled up a car door once.That might have been a bit of a problem with the tiller.I am in the market for a new tiller.I was looking at Woods,but the Land Pride RTR tillers look good.Anybody have one,or know about what they cost?

"And one of the places I'll be tilling is alongside the stone walls to pull out the roots of the vines that grow back faster than I would have believed. "
It will def. make tilling easier.. especially on un-broken ground. When tilling w/ lots of roots.. check your tines.. they love to wrap around them... long grass too.. bushhog first if needed.

Or a middle buster.
I plan to use my pre-owned Yanmar RS1200 tiller (48" wide) to landscape my new home in a few months after the rain softens the ground. I'll plow the ground with my B7510HST/KK middle buster before attempting to rototill. I have sections of my parcel with rocks the size of small potatoes.
Plan to weld extensions onto the tiller 3ph to accommodate a slip clutch since there's no shear pin on the tiller and I don't want to rely on the tiller drive chain breaking before my PTO gears are damaged.

I'm in the same situation as you with the 1200. I got a slip clutch from AgriSupply for ~$65 to use on the tiller. It's an amazing 7" diameter!!! ... which is impossible to fit on the tiller due to the sheet metal below the shaft. I'll probably try to get a pto extension but could use my quick-connect O/R clutch (on the tiller end) to pick up the distance needed. Is your slip clutch a more reasonable size?

Looked at TSC's $98 slip clutch. It's about 7" dia also. Looks like I'll have to cut more sheet metal off my tiller. I already cut off about 2" off the rear sheet metal cover since it was torn and bent around the edges.

Most tillers 60" and below use a 6"-6.75" outside diameter clutch. Most tillers come from Europe. In Europe they just do not use clutches as the norm on tillers 60" and below. So when these tillers were first designed to be used without a clutch they did not allow enough room for a standard clutch hence smaller clutches were needed. Add-on ratchet-pawl style clutches are available in the $85-100 range.
