Make a 1a tiller self powered

Yes, but I stitch welded it. I can cut it off with a die grinder if I ever want to bolt it back up to something. Metallic work is easy.

Daniel, I can have my tiller off or on in less than 2 min. If it's on concrete, less than that. Literally takes longer to remove a mower deck and subframe.

I'm lazy, my tiller lives on my 149.

Daniel, 20 min is about my turnover time too, and 15 of it is spent trying to get the deck back under the tractor! Mounting tiller back on usually takes me about 5-10, and I always end up doing it twice because I always forget to have the gearbox-to-tiller belt where I need it before I put the pins in place. Usually have to field several questions from the wife or the daughter along the way, nothing better at making you lose focus than a female, for better or worse!
