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
