Have L3010 with GST / just ordered a tiller for it from my Kubota dealer. Has industrial tires so I went with a 60" with offset feature to shift unit outside of tire track on one side.<br>
Question I have relates to speed while in use.<br>
Kubota shows an optional set of "creeper" gears for the GST transmission with a note that this is good for "deep tilling". I questioned the salesman about the forward speed while using the tiller on my unit without creeper gears and was told I would be O.K. with tranny in lowest gear while at PTO operating speed 2670 rpm<br>
Factory literature says forward speed (at PTO rpm) is just under 1 mph. Creeper speed is .11 or .15 mph - a lot slower.<br>
I am not necessarily doubting the salesmans advice however there seems to be a LOT of difference in forward speed between the two setups. Anyone have any thoughts or personal experience with the 3010 GST and a tiller ?<br>
Anything I should know before I start ripping up the countryside ?<br>
<br>
thanks in advance for any input<br>
