Tiller for my 155D

[Goldchaser]

I ran a 42" tiller off of my old 155d many times. Before I knew better, I would run it off of the high PTO range (my 155 only had 2 ranges, 540 & 920ish). I never had a problem even when tilling clay.

The PTO shaft on my 155 was the standard US PTO size.

My PTO shaft is also the standard size, just was wondering what Mickey meant about the PTO issue?

I just need to find a tiller by spring so I have plenty of time. Just dont know if I will be able to find one locally since its mostly large scale and corporate farming around here rather than small acreages which is where these tillers would mostly be used. Will have some friends keep their eyes and ears open down in the Denver area and along the front range which has alot more of the small acreages and thus proportionally more chance of finding a good used tiller.

I sure do wish those tillers that California linked were closer to me, I'd pick one up in a second.

Well, I heard back from the one yesterday and the smallest they carried were the used 48 inchers. I might just have to get a 48 inch. They also claimed though that the shipping would be more than the cost of the tiller. Not sure how they came up with that unless they do the deliveries themselves. I have had my share of stuff truck shipped, both incoming and outgoing, and these were items just as heavy or heavier than one of those smaller tillers so their estimate of shipping costs was a surprise.

Guess all I can do is just look for now and then if I cant find one within a few hundred miles of where I am, then just go get one out CA way.
