Have you priced 3 pt hitch tillers? New, they are almost as much

as a used tractor that could run one. I bought and use a used tiller.

I run it behind my Ford 960. I already had the tractor.

As much as I dislike running them, a Ford SOS tractor would be

ideal speed wise for a tiller. They are dog slow in lower gears.

I can walk faster than a SOS goes in 7th out of 10 speeds.

9th and 10th are quite fast on the other hand.

Plus an SOS has independent PTO. That's not the same as what is

called "live" PTO, it's better. Other brands had it too, like my John Deere 50.

And, because people poo-poo the SOS, they are usually cheap.

The second generation SOS though, has proven itself to be quite reliable.

As Jim said, hooking it behind a rider might be an option.

Finding a used rider with a correct tiller for it seems to be a good

option around here. I see some on Craigslist for about $500.

No mower deck included with them, so that would be a consideration.
