Tiller Size for an L175?

[Orange Tractors]

What size tiller should I be able to use with my tractor? I have an L175 with 13.6-16" turf tires; outside to outside is approximately 56". A 5 foot tiller seems awfully big for a 17 HP tractor.

Or should I go with a four foot model and another set of wheels and ag tires?

Thanks,

Robert

Hi Robert,

I have a 4 ft tiller on a B6000 (12hp I think) and have never had a problem. I don't even notice a strain on the engine when chomping fresh turf in first gear. I think you would be OK with 5 ft.

Hey Todd do you have a reverse? or what they call it so it runs clock wise?? Where do you find your parts and equipment?? Thanks, Jerry

A tiller around 48-52" would be just about right.

Thanks Vic, I was afraid of that; I really dislike working ground and leaving tire tracks.

Although Todds advice leaves some hope; I will have to see if I can borrow my neighbors tiller to try.
