Just my opinion---but I think you will find working the ground with disc and harrow or other implements will be faster than working the ground once over with a roto-tiller. Another problem of working the ground with a roto-tiller is that it buries all residue and really makes the ground fine. Nice seed bed, but if you get a dashing rain it seals it up and then you get run off, maybe severe run off depending upon just how flat your ground is. With seal up it crusts over and makes it hard or impossible for seed to break through. I use a 56 inch roto-tiller behind my 23 hp tractor. HOWEVER I am using it in very sandy soil, and PTO rpm speed in low gear provides about .7 mph. That is approximately one foot per second vs. 7.3 while discing with a wider implement (6').
