 SOS - the only way to rototill!!!!! in reply to Matt R., 05-03-2008 19:23:13  
I'm with the rest of 'em. 4 speed just isn't geared slow enough. The ideal Ford tractor of the late fifties/early 60s for a rototiller is one equipped with a Select-O-Speed transmission, say a 6 or 871 or 81, or an early 2 or 4000. I'd personally pick either an 871, 881 or 4000 because of the added horsepower.

The 4spd trans are just not ideal for tilling. Perhaps in sandy soil.. or if you make multiple passes. It will not be as easy as a modern tractor with a creeper.. or with one of the other trans options..liek the 8spd.. or the howard rotovator gear reduction.. or possible an everet trencher tranny.. both of those slow ground speed, but not pto speed ( post trannies )

An NAA has the power to do it but ground speed is way to fast to do a good job. If you where to try it the tiller would be out of the ground more then in the ground. I know because we tried to do it on our 841 and it didn't work worth 2 cents
