Land Pride Rotary Tiller

[dhcole99]

I am looking to purchase a Land Pride rotary tiller to go with my M7060. I have never used a tiller and not sure how effect it is and how it deals with the occasional rock. Anyone have experience with the Land Pride rotary tiller? Recommendation? Suggestions?

Land Pride tillers are known to be very high quality.
(I have a King Kutter......very good)
The question....... how big is "the occasional rock"?

Can’t help you with Land Pride as I have a Dirt Dog. It handled rocks and some buried concrete very well, slip clutch worked too. I debated on forward v reverse rotation and ended up with a unit that can do either. Forward seems to work fine for me and it seemed to “walk” over bigger subsurface obstructions. Mine is 6’ and with your tractor I would imagine you can handle a 7’-8’.

Thanks for the updates. The size or rocks will vary but generally they will range from the size of a football to basket ball. When you say that the tiller "walks over" the rocks is that due to the slip clutch or a design feature of your make of tiller?

Forward rotation of the tiller. Wants to eject obstacles out the back.

A tiller will handle the occasional rock provided the slip clutch is adjusted correctly & each pass is not too deep -I prefer gear driven (rather tan chain drive) in these conditions & run Cosmo tillers which are robust commercial quality units https://www.3pointtiller.com/3-point-tillers
