tgranthamfd 29 #2 Posted September 21, 2010 First I can't speak from experience, but I would think it would be fine if it is in good running condition, those old singles are tough. I'm sure others will chime in and speak from experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,033 #4 Posted September 21, 2010 It will do it, but a bigger engine will do it much better, with out working as hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 179 #5 Posted September 21, 2010 I use a 308-8 as my tiller tractor. It does great, never bogs and runs cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whfan74 2,072 #6 Posted September 21, 2010 I run mine with a 310-8 and has no issues whatsoever......I would imagine that the 8 hp will chug right along and do a very nice job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy w h 5 #7 Posted September 21, 2010 Well here it is !! It's a 854 with a K181 and also a HY lift (the boy can't lift the tiller manually) enjoy!! Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don1977 605 #8 Posted September 21, 2010 I think the type of ground you have would be a factor as to how much horse power. We have hard red ground here on North Carolina and you can use all the horse power you can get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
