A rotary tiller that is too wide overloads the PTO; one that is too narrow wastes field time. Matching width to power is one of the highest-ROI decisions in a tractor package.

Matching principles

  • Start from continuous HP, not peak brochure claims
  • Adjust for soil hardness and working depth
  • Confirm PTO speed and gearbox rating
  • Plan ballast and 4WD traction for heavy soils
