In order to begin your planting and ensure healthy, flourishing crops this spring, you should till your fields first. Tillage equipment comes in many varieties, so it’s important to figure out what it is you need before you buy anything. Here are a few parameters to keep in mind when you’re shopping for a tiller.

Field Size

First, think about the size of your fields and how much work you have to do. You need a piece of equipment that is large enough to handle the workload without being cumbersome. Think about the size of the rows you plan to cultivate so you can compare these to tiller widths. Consider whether getting something that’s more compact may be useful for easy storage.

Tractor Compatibility

The tiller you choose needs to be compatible with the tractor you already have. Your tractor’s PTO and horsepower should be considered in order to make sure that the tiller won’t overload it. Jot down the specs of your tractor so you know what you’re working with.

Budget

You should also think about what you can afford to spend on your tillage equipment. You can always investigate used options to save money. Don’t forget to consider storage needs as well as maintenance costs.
