I have a supper 88 diesel and would like to know how much rototiller it will handel. It has a after market 3point on it any info would be helpfull Thanks
 
Power-wise, it should be fine with a 5 footer- but the more important concern is low gear speed of the tractor. Many older tractors are just too fast in 1st gear to do a decent job rototilling. You might post your question on the Oliver section of this site- lots of Oliver knowledge on that board.
 
If you want to use a PTO powered tiller - you need a tractor that can make enough engine power while traveling around 1/2 MPH. If a gear drive that usually means a tractor with a hi-low range for the trans. An IH B275, Ferguson TO35, MF35, Deere 1020, etc. all have worked fine for me with a 5 foot PTO tiller. I tried a Ford 800 series with a 5 speed and it was too fast. A self-powered tiller works great on anything.
 
brandon j,
Been down same road. I decided it was better to use a 6 ft disk behind Jubilee if I want to till sod. A 7 ft rock rake to remove sod. Then I bought a used JD GT275 garden tractor, hydro tranny, with a 48 inch mower and a 30 counter rotating tiller for $1500.

So you need to decide what is more cost effective? How much dirt are you going to till?

Neighbor has a 6 ft tiller behind his 231 Massey. Goes too fast, leaves larger clumps of dirt behind if he is breaking up sod.

Agree, too big and too fast. Neighbor tills a few inches at a time. Makes second and third passed going at right angles. Then in a few weeks comes back with disk.

I'm not impressed.
