For tractors like the 8N and the fergies I have been told that the ground speed is to fast to use a rototiller??? Is there a way to reduce the speed either through the tranny or rear end?? Thank you in advace.
Eric

Eric, there were a several auxillary trannys you could install on TO's and N's for that sort of thing. There are a couple trannys, the Howard, and the Everett, that would give you slower ground speed, but maintain the same PTO speed, just what you need for a tiller. They are kind-of hard to find now days, but they are out there.
I've seen a couple posts from guys that had good success with step down trannys, like a Sherman or Hupp for running a tiller. These two trannys slow down both ground drive and PTO speed. They are more common. I see them regularly on Ebay.
Check out this link, has great photos and descriptions about aux. trannys

Yes. If you can find a Sherman combination transmission (or Hupp) to add to your tractor (the gear box mounts inside the bell housing replacing the present input shaft and gear) you can have 12 speeds forward and three reverse, of which 2 are slower than standard 1st gear in a Ferguson. Learn a little about them at the link below...
