yard tractor advice

Stovepipe · Apr 1, 2012

I was just wondering about IH/Farmall tractors such as a 200/300/400 (or newer series). Are the low and reverse gears slow enough to use on a rotory tiller, mower and snowblower? Thanks!

Yes any of the farmalls with a torque amplifer would be good for tilling or blowing snow. Kent

I disagree.

Even in 1st with the TA back, the 300/400/350/450 tractors are much too fast for a rototiller, unless you live in loose sandy soil.

With the TA back, the tractor won't hold the rototiller back anyway. You'll just go clomping across the yard, driven by the tiller tines.

You do realize that rototilling is bad for soil, right?

I have heavy soil.... Rototiller is for the garden.
