best bet would be a compact or sub-compact tractor with 3 pt hitch, and live or independant pto would be good . Many of the older ones with 2 or 3 range transmissions had really slow lower gears ideal for tilling. A hydro would also be good for tilling. As traditional farmer said a lot of the larger garden tractors can do a good job too , but you should buy one with a tiller as they wont be 3 point hitch and you dont want to do a lot of chasing around to get the right tiller ,brackets, belts etc. Older Ford , John Deere and Kubota compacts would be good choices. Try to avoid the real wide turf tires as you need a lot wider tiller to cover your wheel tracks. 40 plus years ago my dad owned a John Deere 950 we did a lot of rototilling with, using a 5' wide tiller and it did a good job. The lighter the tractor the less soil compaction you will cause , unless you only run over it once. As mentioned an older Ford with a good working selectospeed would be a good choice if you want to go with an older farm tractor, but I think a newer compact would be a better choice . I see older 2wd compacts going pretty reasonable these days as everyone thinks they need 4wd and hydro these days in a compact.
