Question for you guy with tillers

[Bronco82]

I'm not sure a tiller is the right tool for you. A tiller disturbs and mixes turf and soil. What you really want is a grader and the closest tractor implements are box blade or landplane or land rake or back blade. A tiller will help a bit but only if you follow up with a rake or back blade IMO. A FEL/bucket mounted "Ratchet Rake" would be excellent for smaller areas. Anything more than an acre and I'd go to a box blade first with scarifiers set for a few inches deep. Multiple passes at 90 degree angles should smooth things out nicely. Tilling is slower and IMO stresses both tractor and tiller way more than a simple heavy boxblade.

Thank you for that. Box blade a few inches deep, multiple passes at 90 degree angles and I'll report back with results. Sincere thanks again as this is my first tractor and I'm learning!

Take your time. Box blades are simple but require adjustments in height, "angle of attack" and frequent adjustments of the topping lift to get the exact action you want. For what you are needing tilt is not a factor ( just make sure you are level). If you don't already have rear remotes and a hydraulic topping lift this would be a good time to research adding those. A TBN member Mountainviewranch is expert and sells excellent kits at fair prices. You might want to ask his thoughts.
