I have a 3 pt tiller when I bought my ford 2000 it came with it . It works great, but the problem is it is only 4 ft wide and is not an offset model so my tire tacks arent coverd. I would like to get a king cutter 5ft tiller. Do you think I should trade in the small tiller or try to sell it and then see about buying a bigger tiller? The small tiller works great and is made in italy I forget the name of it i will go look. send me your ideas , I may do something this winter before I need it thank you
 
It's probably a Caroni.

Unless you find a nearby individual that needs a 4' tiller and who owns a 5' tiller , I would sell the small tiller rather than trying to trade it as you can, no doubt, work better deals in this way.

If you buy the King Kutter, I suggest you pull all the bolts out of the gear-case cover. clean threads, put some Loctite on them, and resintall.
That's the only problem I had with mine. In one day, just about every bolt fell out of that cover. There's a gasket under the cover, so you can't tighten them very much. Never had a problem since (with the Loctite).
 
I use a 5 foot Howard rototiller on a 40 HP tractor and I wouldn't want to use any smaller tractor. So I suspect that the Ford 2000 at 30 hp may have trouble handling a 5 ft tiller unless the tiller is quite light.
Good luck
 
I've got a 6 ft King Kutter on my John Deere 855. I thought it might be too big, but I used it this fall and the tractor was able to handle it. I was running 6 inches deep. It made the tractor bark, but with hydrostat tranny I could control ground speed. I thought I was going to get a smaller tiller but I think now I will keep this one.
 
I've got the 5 foot King Kutter tiller and I use it on an IH B-275, which is a couple of hundred pounds lighter than the three-cylinder Ford 2000 (assuming that's what he has).

My tractor handles it fine and I have lots of steep hills to go up and down. I just make sure that when I have to climb something real steep, I back up, and don't go up frontwards - when I've got something heavy on the back.
 
I have a 66 inch tiller and run it with a 41 hp Massey and a 30 hp Kubota. The Kubota is a hydo so will do ok going slow but the Massey does better. But I think about 10 or 20 hp more would be better for my use. So I think your 2000 will have its hands full with the 5 footer in unworked ground but will probably do ok in ground that is already worked up. I"m looking for a 4 footer for my Kubota if you live somewhere around mid Mi.
 
yes it is a 3 cyld ford 1973 model I like to plow tke plot first then till so I think a 5 ft willbe ok the tiller leaves a nice seed bed but with the 4 ft i have tire tracks and compaction
 
Larry, you may have troubles getting what you want now for yours I was just down to our TSC store and they have just recieved their shipment of new tillers of Caroni's and King Kutters 4' and 5'.
