Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Property Projects & Construction Tractor Size for 35 acres?

In the past few weeks I've used two different brands of 72" rototillers on the same ground. One by Bobcat, the other by Brush Hog. I was able to keep a ground speed of 1.7 to 1.9 mph and get a good finish with the Bobcat, with the Brush Hog brand, .9 mph seemed to be the sweet spot to get the same finish.

I'm saying that because a buddy has a tractor that won't go slow enough (ground speed) for a tiller. Maybe just another thing to look at.

Bigger is always better unless bigger means less manuverability - and you need the manuverability. You can always back off the throttle if you don't need all the hp, but there's a limit on how far down you can push on the go pedal..... At least that's my thinking!!
