One thing I can't help but notice is the volume of "free advice" you'll get over the internet (here included) from people who don't really know what the heck they're talking about. Many times people are just parroting bad info they've heard on the 'net. Often times, post count can be a RED FLAG.
Example? The comment about a tractor not being able to handle a tiller as wide as the back tires.
I've used a 6' King Kutter II tiller behind a Massey Ferguson 150 for 8+ years now. It's tilled enough ground to wear out a complete set of tines and is well on the way to wearing out a second set. No issues with the pto clutch, no lack of power, even with the 150's smaller engine (relative to a 255) I've tilled ground previously unworked, plowed ground, rocky ground, ect. In plowed ground, I've even used low rang 2nd gear on occasion. (Low 1st nets much better results) Even with the 150's wheel track set out fairly wide, the 6'er is wider than the rear tires.
A 255 will toy with a 6' tiller. In anything but the absolute worst of conditions, it would handle a 7' tiller, so long as you're working at slow ground speeds. I've used an 84" tiller on the back of a 50hp Deere I own with no issues. (albiet not NEARLY as much operating time as with my 150/6' tiller) In the case of the 50 hp Deere, the 7' tiller is quite a bit WIDER than the rear wheels.
