1st gear with 28" wheels-3mph, 24" would be?

Redhunter2486 · May 28, 2015

I have an older 4000 4cyl, 4spd with reverser. I've read that even in 1st gear it will be too fast for a tiller, I have some 24" wheels I could put on if it would make a difference? I have a bottom plow and good disc already so I don't need the tiller just have the opportunity to get a good 6' Howard tiller pretty cheap. Thanks for your input!

Any speed difference will be insignificant.

Thanks Dean, I wasn't sure about what speed you should till at but apparently its not even close!

Circumference and therefore speed is proportional to diameter. So the ratio will be the same as the height of the wheel and tire.

A lot depends on what 28 tire you have and what 24 tire you have. If you say take a 14.9X28 and install a 9.5X24 you are almost cutting the size of the tire down by at least 1/3 if not 1/2/. But with out doing a roll test etc would be hard to say for sure. I know when I park my A/C next to my Ford 841 the tires on the C sure as heck are at least a foot smaller then the ford tires
