I have a 1990 B6200 4wd with ag tires and would like to purchase a rear tiller. I think 42" is probably the best size, and I prefer slip clutch instaed of shear pin. Can anyone recommend a good aftermarket tiller? I heard Woods and Land Pride make nice units, but I have no experience. If anyone has a good used one for sale, I'd be willing to listen.

A 38 will also offset enough to cover youe tracks and it might be a better fit for the horsepower. ....

John -
I have been tilling with my B5200,(gear),commercially since 1987. The Rototiller is a BEFCO, manufactured right in No. Carolina. The company is very easy to deal with, and very accomodating. I am able to purchase pieces/parts from most all tractor dealers without difficulty. Actually, in all the years that I have been tilling commercially, I needed to change about 15 tines - nothing else.
My tiller, a BEFCO 158, is adjustable from side to side with a collapsable drive shaft cover complete. Though I have experienced some pretty severe conditions at various sites, the biggest element that you must consider is the weight factor. This element is most always overlooked and/or confused as the weight of the tiller unit alone. YOU MUST REALIZE THE ADDED WEIGHT OF THE SOIL / MUD THAT HAS CAKED ONTO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TILLER when matching up.
As mentioned, the BEFCO 158 (58inch) works wonderfully on my orange. It has a slip clutch as well...watch out for tillers with shear pins...though the design is there to shear off before damage to the tractor's driveline occurs, many times, the shear pin shears slightly after damage has taken place.
Almost forgot, The BEFCO is lighter weight to begin with, which in itself allows a larger size capability. Need any info on BEFCO, let me know.
