It's a Rice tiller. It will not live long in clay. I know operators that sheared all the tines off in their first use.

Thanks for the reply Mr. Carter. My soil is pretty tough and somewhat rocky. I will probably be calling you or Mr. Sweet in the very near future.

I would like to get a tiller for my Kubota L295DT for use in my Crossville TN home. Can u suggest one that will work on it?

I believe it has a 3 pt hitch but the manuel is in TN and I am in VA right now.

I know I don't have a live PTO but hope a tiller will still work?

I suggest you first measure your rear tracks outside of tire to outside of tire and suggest you choose a tiller that will cover your tracks. Your Kubota L295DT has 26 PTO HP and will accommodate up to a MR190- 72" tiller.

John, keep me posted on what you get, I am moving to Crossville next month, maybe you can till my garden so I don't have to buy one. LOL

My width is about 59" so I wonder if the 60" would be the best match?.

Cool Joe, My son is living in our house right now til we move in early 06 but I will be back and forth. I have thousands of both daylilies and bulbs I plan to move this summer. We are 13 miles WSW of town off Lantana.
