Think long and hard about running that tiller on a smaller tractor. I used a gear drive tiller same size on an Allis 5015 {15 hp 3 cylinder tractor} and it snapped the pto after about 7 hours of use. (I hit a few roots and the tiller bogged the tractor with deep tilling if you went to fast, I like it b/c the tractor had a "crawl gear" (.25km/hour in first! You gotta go really slow to till well.)
You might be able to pull it off if you set your friction clutch on the loose side and make sure it really slips if the tiller bogs down.

good luck

Greetings all, new to the group, been reading for a few days and have learned a lot. I am purchaing a new Kubota L4310 and woods 7500 backhoe. I am trying to decide whether to go with the pto pump hookup option or to run it off tractor hydraulics. Dealer is trying to sway me towards the pto pump option but I like the cleaner setup of running it off the tractor directly. Should be comparable cost { PTO pump is extra but so is getting the remote hydraulics to the back of the tractor} Anyone have any thoughts on which will be the more powerfull /better option?

I have an older arps 3pt hitch mounted backhoe currently in use on a IH 684 with pto pump, the pump always has to be tied down or it will clatter around and I thought running off the tracotr might make the unit a little more powerfull but I don't know enough about the specifics to be sure. I don't run the tractor at pto speed unless I really need the digging power so I spend a fair amount of time digging at half throttle where I figured tractor hydraulics might be throwing out more power to the backhoe.

Ohh one more question, the woods 7500 is available with 8" to 24" bucket sizes. From reading earlier posts am I to presume that digging with a 24" will be arduous/slow with a backhoe in this size? (I'm not trying to knock any trees over or remove any boulders just want to move more dirt faster for the occasional excavation project.

thanks for any recommendations,

Sean
