DR Rotohog vs. 3pt tiller for bx1860

[legbuh]

Last year I purchased a DR Rotohog pull behind tiller as seen here:

Then I had a Cub mower that I pulled it with. It's a really great tiller.

Now that I have a BX1860 I'm wishing (I think) that I had a 3pt tiller for my BX... but, I want other opinions.

I can't find definate HP on the DR tiller, but from what I understand I have about 15hp at the PTO on my bx.

Downsides of the DR now are that getting lined up in tight spaces can be a bear since you're towing it. And the extra controls for up/down.

For a 3pt tiller, I can see it would be much easier to manuver, and no extra up/down controls wired to it. It's also hydro vs electric up/down.

Would I be better off selling the DR and taking a hit and then buying a 3pt tiller? they are about the same price new... I'd probably ask about 2200 for it (I got it for 2600, but now I see it's on sale for 2400 but shipping is a lot unless you're smart enough to find a distributor and have them order it, then you don't pay shipping. )

But, I'm wondering if I'd regret it... mainly power wise.

If you do sell the DR tiller, check these out. http://kingkutter.com/XBProducts.asp?XBProd=Gear Driven Tiller The DR tiller does have its down side of having to be constantly towed where as the PTO tiller can be lifted and easily moved. The KingKutter XB series tillers were specifically designed for your size of tractor so power wont be an issue.

I was just looking at that exact tiller. 1600 bucks almost makes it worth it to take the hit on the DR... I want orange of course. My TSC site shows it in yellow.. lol
