I am with you truckntran.....its kinda weird they (IH) didn't make a specific tiller to fit onto a "super" garden tractor. I mean they built an ox of a tractor, meant to be used on large acerage lawns and for those who have orchards and vegtable gardens (I guess they were called market gardens??). Ummmm, don't ya think these people would have a use for a tiller?? I mean the ones meant to run off a pto seem to be scarce as hen's teeth - right? I have never heard of one for sale or seen a picture of one since I got involved in this addiction!
I would have to say that someone earlier in another thread posted a thought of lengtheing the arms or something along that line to get the tiller lower into the ground due to tire height. Since I have never been up close to a tiller like these (only been exposed to Farm King rear tine tillers that are run off 540pto) I think it would work .... it seems to make sense in my pea brain? Heck....if you got right down to it, you could put a shorter set of ag tires on just to till with. I can't see that it would screw up the drive train or anything. You would just feel like your always driving up hill when using the tiller.:biggrin2.gif:
