Paint gun isn't bad to use. It's just the mixing with the hardener, and thinner to get it to flow through the gun. A high volume, low pressure gun works really well. You don't get as much over spray as you would through a high pressure gun. And the learning curve for it, isn't really difficult.
Sorry I didn't get on this sooner. In this case, this tiller was made for a 400 Deere that used the mid PTO and then an auxiliary gear box on the back that made the PTO input speed to the tiller about 840 RPM instead of 540. I had to change one of the chain sprockets to speed up the tiller to make up the difference in input speed. If you do a little search in this section. you will find a complete explanation with pictures.
Well, I don't like to deny the origins of my implements, but I DO like them to match the tractor. I figure if Land Pride can sell implements in different colors to match the tractor, I can do it too.
I used Tallman's AG paint, mixed it with hardener and rolled/brushed it on. Frankly, the results were pretty lousy, so I ended up spraying on a top coat to make the finish look acceptable. Despite assurances from Tallman's, it was VERY hard to apply by hand and the results were VERY disappointing. I'd recommend spraying it .
