grinchsr 599 #1 Posted April 7, 2015 Is anyone using a 12 horse for their tilling? I am trying to find out if 12 horses is enough to do the job without too much strain. I used a bigger tractor last year but I want to put it on a 312 this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MalMac 1,328 #9 Posted April 7, 2015 I till with a C81, that 8 hp does just fine, but don't tell it it's only a 8hp, it thinks it's a 16 by the way it tills. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tunahead72 2,343 #12 Posted April 9, 2015 One of our members (jachady) runs a custom tilling business using I believe two C-125 tractors, seems to work just fine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
