Hi, Bob. This came up the other day in the context of a C. You don't say what traactor you're thinking of but, if it's a letter-series Farmall, I think our conclusion that a simple regearing is not enough to reduce your ground speed sufficiently for a tiller would hold up in your case. First gear at idle would be too fast for getting a tiller through tough ground, and you wouldn't even have your motor/PTO up to a speed where the tiller could work properly. That doesn't even get into the issue of a conventional/non-live PTO.
(I've never seen one, and would love to know more about how they operate, but I still wonder if the Hydra-Creeper option on a SuperC would work for a tiller. Seems from what read in the manuals, it would, but I suspect it's the only one of the letter-series that even might do it, which would still mean you'd have to find one)
I'm sure there are other's, but the only gear driven tractor I've pulled a tiller with is my neighbor's, a little 2-cyl Bolens/Iseki with two sets of reduction gears. Running in first or second in low-low works with a tiller. A rig with that sort of gearing or a hydrastatic is really the only way to go.
