Rotary Tiller size???

[SuperDave]

I have a B7800. I am in the market for a rotary tiller. I think I want to go the route of a reverse tine tiller, specifically the Landpride RTR 1558 or the RTR 2072. Is the 72" too much for the tractor? I have about 20 acres or so that I want to break. Any info. or experience would be grateful. Thanks

20 acres.....you better bring you a cooler with plenty of beverages of your choice and a few lunches.

I don't know about 72" being too much for the tractor, I have a 45" I normally run behind my Mitsubishi but yesterday I decided to pull it with my L2800 and I had to re-adjust the slip clutch for the higher pto hp. The tractor never even bogged at any point running it to full depth.
I am sure running a 72" model would though at full depth.

I would think if your not going to try to run at full depth on the first pass then you could possibly run a 72" tiller.

I dunno...sure it might do it but for that amount of acreage just get a plow and disc's. imo 20 acres will unnecessarily wear out a tiller. Far as I'm concerned a tiller is for a garden...using it for that it will last forever. Now if you were to plow, disc then roto-till that's another thing altogether.

20 acres is an all full lot to till.
