I've got one of those Italian ones too Stick. Is yours brown? Mine is MF red now. Goes great behind my turf 20 with a finely tuned dual clutch. I run into lots of clumps and roots. I wouldn't try this witout the live pto, but yeah, I do stop rolling, then the pto off, while still in the ground, and then raise the tines, otherwise she has a heck of a vibration if she raises to the top- but I never start fresh with tines already dropped in the turf. I let it get up to speed sitting over the starting spot, then slowly lower the spinning tines, then release the rest of the pedal and... wait to find a rock or root... I have a narrow 'vinyard'? MF2135, but it has an empty back half. When that gets some live pto guts, it will be narrower than the 4 foot tiller, no worry about where to leave the right tire track... the tiller pulls itself to the left enough to till the left tire track... but hey ya got to walk down a row someplace! Width, horse, all depends on your dirt. In the Saint Lawrence Valley, you might need 60 horse to run a 4 foot tiller. In New Mexico you might do a good job with 15 horse pulling a 6 footer. My 48" is all the 35 HP wants to handle here. 5 foot is about all the truck farms around here, behind some healthy tractors... nothing saved if you break something...
