Yes, Howard sells tillers to JD BUT, it saves the "good stuff" for it self!!
If you want a multi speed gear box or a few other features, you will have to buy a Howard.
It's no secret on this site that i'm a big Howard fan. I've been "rotavateing for hire" for many years and the first Howard i bought is an HA model. It's still makeing me $$ today, and i've bought (2) sets of slip clutch plates, replaced some lost bolts and maybe a gasket or two. (still has origional chain and sprockets berrings ect.) That's it, in over (15) years of use and abuse!! (excepting gear oil and grease)
These days i have (3) Howards, and that's the brand i'd buy next time. I wouldn't buy a rotavator (field tiller) with out a multi speed gear box, slip clutch drive, and a very HD drive line, cause you ARE going to hit rocks and other trash, and only the best survive that treatment!! Anything less is just a garden tiller, and for some folks that's all they need.
For 110hp tractor i'd buy a Howard HR40 as a miminum. "If" i was buying it for a 80HP tractor knowing i'd NEVER put it on a bigger tractor i'd buy an HR30 as a mininum!
You can pay now, (get a good one)or pay later, (parts) but on bigger tractors you will pay!
The picture shows my HR30 80"

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
