How many HP does it take to run a tiller?

Consider this: A typical 5-ft rotary tiller with four tines can be run by a 25-hp tractor and the same 5-ft rotary tiller with six tines would need a 31-hp tractor to operate the tiller at peak performance. A 40-hp requirement jumps to nearly 50 hp with six tines.

What is the difference between forward and reverse tillers?

A tiller’s rotating tines dig into the ground, breaking up soil. Reverse- or counter-rotation tines turn the opposite direction of the tiller’s drive wheels, and forward-rotation tines turn in the same direction as the drive wheels. The direction in which the tines rotate affects how well they dig into soil.

How deep will a King Kutter tiller go?

King Kutter Gear-Driven Reverse Tine Rotary Tiller is an all gear-driven tiller featuring a heavy-duty, reinforced metal frame with cast iron gearbox. 6 tines per flange use reverse rotation for fast and efficient performance at working depths up to 8in.

Is a reverse tiller better?
