I would recommend that you don't use either. Neither has a slow enough gear to use a tiller. Unless modified, neither has a live PTO or hydraulics. I would look at a newer machine with at least an 8 forward speed transmission, True Live PTO and good strong 3 point with an adjustable draft control. But that's just my opinion. I don't like to recommend manufactures on something like this because sure as I do I will get shouted at about another brand that they think is better, so I recommend you take all these factors into consideration, open your wallet, get on Tractor house or one of the other trade magazines and whittle it down to what you think you will need. Then go shopping. I would also recommend you look for something around 50 hp. You can get by with less but with the 50 hp you wont work the tractor so hard. Tillers and rotary mowers can really take their toll. I also recommend that when you find the tractor you want don't get to tied into it because you will have a tendency to jump because someone else may get it. Be wise and really nit pick. Don't let a rattle can overhaul influence you. Make sure it's sound and is really as good a machine as advertised. In this market it is a buyer beware environment. LarryT
