OK...Now we're getting somewhere....You're talking about a tiller/rototiller/rotovator, or one of a dozen other names for "a tiller".

You most definately don't want a 6'er with that sized tractor. In fact, a 5'er will work it to death in tough soils. If you go to a 4'er, get an offset model so that one side is even with the outer extremes of your rear wheels. That'll keep wheel tracks out of your prepared seed bed.

The biggest liability with older tractors and too big of a tiller will be the LACK of a low enough low gear. Long story short.... You might not be able to go slow enough to handle a 5'er. Provided you're not working a big acreage, I'd highly recomend a 4'er with that tractor.

I use a 6'er behind a 60 HP tractor. It handles it well, but in SOME soils, it's a load when I'm working down deep. (6" to 9")

Good luck! John
