Since my tiller is dead, and I have a harrow. So I'm thinking of buying a Brinly 10" moldboard to till up some soil for my Spring garden. I've never used a field plow, and have only used tillers in the past. So My question is based on how well it will work in our overabundant rocky soil here in New England.
With the 125 set up with turf tires, and 2 sets of weights is it going to dig through in a single pass or will I end up making multiple passes, or just lose traction getting stuck on every rock and root? Mike |

You'll need ag tires or chains on those turfs

I have chains, and may end up renting the tiller, but what do you think given my area is under 5000 SF?

First off please understand that, I don't plow. I think going to a "plow day" and plowing with a bunch of other people would be GREAT FUN and I would very-much like to do that some day.
However, plowing a garden (in my opinion) would be way too much like real work. I don't know what your soil conditions are in CT (and that would obviously have a great deal to do with things) but plain old regular dirt here, is kinda hard to "work". I may be way off base here but in the "old days" when farmers would use turning plows, they would then have to disk then harrow... it's kind of a wonder how they ever got anything done. Even with a garden as small as ours (my Brother and I) I would be until Thanksgiving just getting the ground ready... But then again as I said earlier... I don't plow... So I really don't know what the "heck" I'm talking about. Hopefully some of the guys who do plow can share some of their expertise, maybe even an old "granite head" like me can learn something new. Around here, I believe a plow will cost you about $125.00 shouldn't you be able to pick up a working tiller for about 2 times that amount? I personally would be afraid that I'd spend the money for a plow and then end up HAVING to buy a tiller to get the work done. Good luck, I wish you the best.

Is rebuilding your tiller an option ? Consider the cost of rebuild over buying something new or used....just a thought.

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.
