Paul,
What Kubota?????? I ask that because you have mentioned it twice now in your posts. Did you see a Kubota in the pictures i posted???? I do have a Kubota, but it's a small one and it would never run my 6 or 7 foot rotavators. I have a 42" Howard i use on that tractor. Over the years i've used quite a few tractors for rotavateing, but at the moment i have two Agco's that i use for field work. The tractors in the pictures are orange, but they are NOT Kubota's. Both my Agco's are full size tractors that are built "heavy" to take "real" farming, and are doing a great job for me, with NO down time to date. A Oliver 88 has less compaction than my Agco??? What size rubber does it have on it??? I Run 16.9x30 radials on the rear, and 11.2x24 radials on the front of my bigger Agco. Are you saying your 88 has more rubber on the ground than that??? Even my smaller Agco has 13.6x28 radials on the rear, and all of these are metric radials that really put some rubber on the ground!! I'm all so NOT packing all that "iron" around you call a plough, and weights!! I never added weight my 42hp tractor, because you don't have to "weight" a tractor to run a rotavator, in fact that's another advantage of useing a rotavator for tillage over plowing ect.. I all ready covered fuel useage, and ground speed in other post, so i won't repeat my self here. Just a comment about big farms. There are two farms here that i know of, that rotavate all of their corn ground. Both bought new HR50 160" rotavators (over $20,000.00 each) this year from my Howard dealer. One farm has been rotavateing since the 70's, so apparently it is working out just fine for them. These are bigger farms, not one or two hundred acre hobby farms. I'm wondering what brand of plough, disc ect.. that you own that doesn't wear out the shares, moulboards ect.?? How about those disc blades and berrings?? Every tool will wear out, and rotavators just don't cost all that much more to own, depending on what kind of ground you have, and how it's used, "when" the whole picture is looked at. They "are" slower than a chiesel plow on a big tractor, but are as fast, or faster than the convential tools used in the past. We've been on this farm for nearly 50 years now, and dad always plowed ect., ect.. untill i bought a Howard rotavator over 15 years ago.

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
