stratostar250 919 #1 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) So on Saturday, it was an absolutely gorgeous day out, so I decided before it got any colder out, I should try to till the garden. I decided it was also a good opportunity to finally find out if the tiller I got with my D-250 worked. So with a little fighting, and help with my dad, we got the tiller onto the tractor! And boy was I surprised! It works really great! As I state in the video, it really makes a racket, though, which worries me a little bit. It probably needs a bearing or a couple haha, the tiller looks like it sat outside its whole life and probably hasn't been used in maybe 10 or so years. I did check for oil before I used it, and it did have oil in it, and I kept checking the tiller during use, and it did not get hot, and it seemed to quiet down the more I was using (maybe I was just getting used to it ), But without further adieu, here is a video of me using it! There is a pic at the end of the video that shows the end result of the garden. Oh, and Duane(baerpath), if you see this, thank you so much for the locking pin for the tiller, but as you can see, someone took it into their own hands to make that pin not necessary, and just welded the spot where the tiller falls out of the PTO extension. I wish I had known a little more about the tiller when I got that part from you! Enjoy everyone! Edited October 27, 2014 by stratostar250 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,116 #5 Posted October 28, 2014 Such a cool video! That 250 is an absolute beast of a machine.. One of these days I need to get myself a tiller! Thanks for sharing! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baerpath 517 #7 Posted October 28, 2014 It is easier to use the locking pin to put the tiller on. Might have been some rust on the worm gear when you started. I do like that there direct drive without internal chains . And it makes a good counter weight for the loader. lol I do like the way a D250 tills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only imagine, that thing is a real beast to move around and line up all together, and to make sure the pto spline is lined up is a pain, too. But yeah it does work, and is definitely a good counter weight! Haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
