Tiller Rear tiller and turf tires

hcarter62 · Feb 12, 2003

I am almost done restoring a kubota 4WD b7100 hst 1984 vintage, and am at the point that all I really have left to do is put on some new sneakers and a FEL. The question I have is this, I am going to use this tractor not only for basic around the yard things but also to excavate down to +/- 4 inches to install synthetic putting greens. My plan is to till the soil then take it out with the loader and replace it with stone dust, compact it, etc. Will this little tractor pull the tiller without slipping with turf tires? I really don't want to use ag's because some of the jobs that I have started to line up have some very nice lawns that I do not want to rut up or repair.
Thanks for the help.

I have b9200 4wd hst with turf tires and it needs 4wd to pull tiller and those turf tires sure make it nice driving over lawn.

Thanks Emery. Does it pull at all in 2WD or just spin?

My B7100HST will pull a four foot roto tiller with the turf tires but usually has to be in four wheel drive.

I pull a 3 foot rototiller with my 4WD B6100 all the time. I have loaded turf tires on the rear and ag tires on the front (it's a long story why I ended up with that combo...). My tiller rotates in the forward direction so I have no need to use 4WD while tilling.
