I'm planning on purchasing a tiller attachment for my L3940/HTSC here soon and would appreciate any suggestions concerning size (max width recommended), brand, and whether to go with forward for reverse rotating tines. Thanks!

Mine is Bush-Hog branded tiller....I think 62".I do about ten acres a year in the very rocky North-East and It has held up very well.It is the standard reverse:I leave the rear flap wide open and it spits most of the rocks out the back.Make sure to get a slip clutch and service every year.It only takes about 15 minutes to service after the first time.I really like the tiller on smaller tractors and acres.

We only use a tiller on small sections and moldboard plow and disk and harrow on our larger tractors. We have had good service out of our Land Pride tiller on the BX, Bush Hog and others make good tillers also with some having pretty good luck even with King Kutter though I have never used one.

Reverse tillers as you know run the dirt over the top of rotor, in harder ground they suck down into the ground better than the forward tillers, but still will require a slow ground speed.
I have used both types. My 2 cents....I use a foward tiller since I am in a lot of debris (unseen) the forward tiller will bounce up and throw debris out from under tiller if loose.
The revese tine will (if large enough) lodge debris between tines and upper sheild.
If your in no debris soil (vegitation is OK) the reverse will do a great job with one pass.
The forward tine tiller, if a heavy unit is used they do I nice job in one pass that is good enough for me from my expierance.
The lighter weight tillers will not dig into hard soil as well as the heavyer units.
I do mostly non worked ground most of the time.
If your in worked soil the lighter tillers work very well. Match up weights of different units.
I recomend the slip clutch aswell.
You should be able to handle a RTR2064 or RTA2064 unit with out any problems.
these are Land Pride model#....I have been using a RTA2570 for over 10 years, replaced tines 5 times and a month ago I replaced the non drive rotor bearing. The only thing I have done to it since new. There are other tiller brands but the LP works so well I dont look at other brands....personal taste.
Hope I helped you

A 3940 should run a 72" tiller with no problem.
