Tiller for 1250
Hi,
I will be looking at a Cub Cadet 1250 with a tiller this afternoon. I'm not quite sure which tiller the guy has, but he said it was 42". This will be my 3rd season running a 3 acre CSA and Market farm and I need rototiller for bed prep. We currently have access to row crop tractors so primary tillage is taken care of, I just need something to A) prepare a fine seed bed for those smaller veggie seeds, B) re-prepare beds after a crop is harvested to either replant to a veggie crop or cover crop. I think the 'best' option for a farm my scale would be a BCS or Grillo walk behind tractor, but they are easily $3500, hard to find used in the Mid-West, and imported from Italy so I worry about the cost to repair them. My main concern with a Cub Cadet mounted tiller is its ability to handle ground that has seen a couple months of rain after a harvested crop. Do these tillers have enough guts to work up clay/ loam with some vegetation, especially later in the season? The guy is thinking it will be $1000-1200, which is much cheaper than a walking tractor, but if it doesn't really cut it, the savings will be moot. any thoughts...

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
