Hi, Bob. This came up the other day in the context of a C. You don't say what traactor you're thinking of but, if it's a letter-series Farmall, I think our conclusion that a simple regearing is not enough to reduce your ground speed sufficiently for a tiller would hold up in your case. First gear at idle would be too fast for getting a tiller through tough ground, and you wouldn't even have your motor/PTO up to a speed where the tiller could work properly. That doesn't even get into the issue of a conventional/non-live PTO.
(I've never seen one, and would love to know more about how they operate, but I still wonder if the Hydra-Creeper option on a SuperC would work for a tiller. Seems from what read in the manuals, it would, but I suspect it's the only one of the letter-series that even might do it, which would still mean you'd have to find one)
I'm sure there are other's, but the only gear driven tractor I've pulled a tiller with is my neighbor's, a little 2-cyl Bolens/Iseki with two sets of reduction gears. Running in first or second in low-low works with a tiller. A rig with that sort of gearing or a hydrastatic is really the only way to go.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
