I’m looking for a three point rototiller about seven feet long (need to cover up my tire tracks). It needs to have gears (not chain) drive and be heavy enough to handle cutting 14 acres at a time. I don’t want an off-set type. The tractor it will be used on is a JD 5310 (55 PTO HP). I think I need a single speed one with ability to dig eight inches deep. I will use it in a heavy soil (lots of clay). I have seen a lot of advertisement about Howard rototillers and about how tough they are. I saw a huge one at the Agricultural Fair in Raleigh, NC a few months ago and was impressed. I don’t need anything nearly that big, however. I would like to Buy American. I have looked on the Howard Web site (http://www.howardrotavator.com/), but I have a problem with them: they are not American made, they are now made in Denmark (I think). I have also seen a lot of postings about King Kutter, but they only go up to six feet. Can anyone provide any suggestions based on machines they own?
