Kubota LX3310 cab, JD 4310, NH 575E cab backhoe, JD F725, Swisher 60", etc.
Trying out the 6ft forward rotating tiller on the LX3310 today. It handles it just fine. Ground has had pines removed and stumps dug out but still has some roots and wood buried. I loosened and spun the driveshaft clutch then set it back where it was before running it. It would lurch every now and then when it hit something but didn't find anything that caused a problem. It just kicks the hard objects out the rear and goes on. We are in a bit of a drought so the dust was very bad. You wouldn't want to do this today without a cab.
The tiller was set up to use behind my JD4310 with a quick hitch so I didn't want to try it on the Kubota until I got a quick hitch on it. Didn't want to cut the driveshaft.
The tiller is a Country Way from Rural King. I don't recommend either but it works. Took a lot of setup as delivered and the top gearbox leaks into the side gearbox. Every time I go to use it I just drain the side gearbox down to level and top of the top one.

also they couldn’t even get a 60 inch till about December. I bought it thinking it would be way too much and would just sell it in the spring and go smaller. Well I know it depends on the ground and speed. But being forward rotation helps move you along. I have broken up grass for the neighbour no problem and tilled a ton with it. The pto power on the lx still surprises me for the size
