Default Tiller on a 71
I have a 71 w/ a creeper bored .010 over. Will it run a tiller? Want to do some yard work, but not sure if the 71 has the "guts" for it.

I know a number 2 tiller really makes the 10 horse on my 1000 work hard. The 12 on my 124 gets a little workout as well. I think the 7 should be able to handle a number one without any extensions but I could be wrong and it could handle it all. I have seen a 7 tilling on youtube though

The #1 was offered for a 71. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't handle it. Being that you have a creeper, that will help.

may have to start shallow with the tilling depth and gradually work your way down so its a little easier on the motor to keep its RPMS up.

One of our members here has a tiller on a 70, he told me that it works fine (I don't remember what size tiller it is though).

I gotta agree with Shaner though, start shallow and work your way down.

This is true of any tilling operation regardless of tiller/attached tractor. A #2 on a 125 works just fine.

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.
