Hugh,
I am sure the dual range tractors make a better tiller tractor. However, your neighbor could have put 460, 504, 606 gears in the 300 and had a very slow tractor with a working TA in low range.
I have another SMTA into which I installed 560 gears. If I remember correctly, it goes 3/4 mph at full throttle in first gear and low range. The 560 first gears have the same tooth count as the M low-low first gear. As strange as it may sound, I have yet to run the tiller behind it. My 504 also has a very slow first. I think it would be suitable as well.
