There are alot of variables with tillers. Some are cheap and will break or wear out if stressed. Howard has always had a good reputation. Variables also include width of cut, overlaps of cut, depth of cut, soil type, sod or bare, previous tilling, moisture, rocks, and on and on.

On the whole, a rugged 5 ft tiller run with a 450 in 1st gear low range should be OK. If not, till four inches and make another pass at 6-7". Or till new ground with half the tiller in the fluffed-up soil. I am sure you will figure something out. Go fo it.

I till with a five foot Howard attached to a 660 equipped with a fast hitch. I don't have any problems. Never tried it with my fast hitch SMTAs or 400.
