Anyone running a tiller behind their L45? Wondering if it will power a 6' since it only has 32 PTO hp. How about a 6' bush hog as well?

Are you interested in a forward or reverse tine rotation tiller?


A light duty 6' bush hog weighs around 475 pounds, medium duty 650 pounds, heavy duty 1,000 pounds.

What do you intend to mow? Got hills to mow?




Appears time to update tractor ownership in your T-B-N PROFILE.

I have a 5' forward rotation King Kutter. It ran ok behind my L3200. Could have used more power, but HST kept it going well. It matched width properly. I still run it behind my L4060HSTC. 6' 40hp tractor so it's a little wide, but it works well enough I dont upgrade. Mostly doing arena maintnance with it these days. A 6' behind the L4060 machine would probably be ok rather than good, but wouldnt have issues not covering my tracks.

Reverse rotation is fighting the tractor & hence takes a bit more power to run. Forward rotation helps push the tractor. I hear reverse buries material better though. Never had an issue with my forward rotation though.

I run a 6 foot bush-hog on mine with no problem, don't have a tiller so can't help there.

IF you are just going to do some garden spots and you have a lighter duty tiller, you will be fine. But, if you buy something like a Howard of Kuhn tiller, and want to do larger area's like fields, you will be under powered and probably over heat your tractor.
