- You've seen the tiller from Ideal Farm Equipment on our channel before, as its 48" width makes it well suited for subcompact and compact tractors. We're now carrying a 48" tiller from Oregon, and today is its first test. We'll cover the features and do a quick demo tilling up the ground where we removed stumps a couple of weeks ago.

I agree a tiller is a useful piece of equipment and the different things you can do. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you Courtney your video confirms my plan to reclaim and reseed (as lawns) much of weedy underbrush area with a tiller
Always enjoy the content and commentary. Just starting to get into tillers, I like this attachment, and what it is doing to the ground.
It's amazing how often the subjects you choose are quite relevant to my near future plans
Haha, likely just general seasonal timing no matter what part of the country :)
That tiller does a great job! Thanks for showcasing it. 😁👍🚜💨☀
Hey, always appreciate you watching! Hope life is good :)
Bought a 6ft Dirt Dog Tiller from your company. Has to be one of the smoothest tillers I have ever run. No regrets, plenty of projects are getting done, always look forward to another GWT project idea video! Thanks again!
Hey Greg, I'm happy to hear that! Thanks again :)
Looks nice unit
Yeah, seems to be well thought out
Great Video, Courtney. 🙂I'd be inclined to hit it with a few passes of a drag harrow after tilling and prior to seeding to get it a little more level.
I just got a drag harrow in, might give that a try!
Man that's gonna look really nice
I think so
That tiller looks exactly like my Woods brand tiller. It's a great unit.
I can't say why, but there's a good reason for that 😂
Nice job ty🏆🏆👴
Thanks for watching Richard :)
The forward rotating tiller blades work fine on soil like in the video because the soil is rather soft and rock free. If working harder or rough rocky material a reverse rotation tiller works better. In rough soil the forward tends to skip and jump on top of the dirt. with a reverse it tends to dig in better. The other reason a forward rotating is always pushing the tractor forward, this can be a problem when trying to get close to the end of a run say a driveway. The reverse gives more control at the end of the run. I have one of each, a forward JD tiller on a 20hp 430D, and a Kubota reverse I run on a Kubota compact. Just my experience, YMMV. Thanks for the video.
If you had to choose just one, would you choose forward or reverse?
Thanks Richard. I love tilling. Haven't had a scenario yet where I thought the forward rotation let me down. So, it hasn't driven me to try a reverse rotation yet.
@@GoodWorksTractors I agree. A reverse rotation MIGHT work better in some instances, but I've never had a situation where a regular tiller didn't do everything I wanted it to.
Tractor Time with Tim did a side by side comparison. Pros/cons for each. Convinced me to go with fwd rotation for my 1025r.
@@mymorristribe same, that video made me decide on forward rotation... now I've got to decide between a tiller or a power harrow.
Im leaning towards the harrow.
Liked the video. Pobably worth giving large trees a wider berth since many will have large roots at the surface like that one did.
Good point, that thought crossed my mind as it thumped the first root I passed! 😂
@@GoodWorksTractors can't expect to be perfect the first time! Or ever in my case lol
@@Platinum1812 Haha, I'm with ya there!
As a retired turf guy, your landscape rake would do a nice job on getting the seedbed prepped or your cultipacker. 👍🏻👍🏻on the seeding prep, follow up in 6-8 weeks to show the end result.
Agreed, I think I mentioned using a dethatcher rake towards the end of the video for that exact purpose. There should be plenty of videos later this year that show that area of the property, so lots of opportunites to see the results :)
I always go the opposite direction on the 2nd pass than I did on the first. Its good to hit it for 2 different directions.
Yeah, that's exactly what I did here.
that's quick hitch compatible!!! seems like most videos with a tiller they're not using their quick hitch.
Definitely quick hitch compatible. Most are except for a King Kutter series...
I recently was able to use a bobcat soil preparation tool. It was fairly amazing. Do you offer anything similar for tractor use?
Yeah, but they are 5 or 6x the cost and go up from there.
Would you use a tiller to level old farm land or a disc harrow? I'm trying to get the field to a mowable point
Can you do a walk around video on your new Versa forks.
Hey Courtney, do you have any plans to test one of these in a field that has some small 1/2" to 1" knocked down saplings? I've bought property that was brush hogged and there's quite a few of these left in my land. I have a flail mower with hammer blades I'm going to try and knock these down lower but would like to eventually seed my 2-3 front acres. Wasn't sure if a tiller would handle that or would a disc blade be a better option? I have a 2025R.
No real plans to do so as I don't have that type of condition on my property. However, if you could mow them down in the fall, give it winter to start to die off, then till in the spring, you'll be good. That first pass might be a bit "bumpy" though depending on how dense they are. A disc would likely work better, but I'd much rather struggle for the first till with a tiller and have that tool for every following year...compared to having a disc.
Tilling is so expensive that I won't do it on undisturbed-soil due to accidental damage costs, like roots or rocks.
You might try using that tiller to make raised rows for gardening. At the top/highest setting it should be able to mix rows & leave them somewhat stacked. Though your area looks like you have lots of slope so your area might not use raised rows.
I use a hiller/bedder to make raised rows. Works well.
Have you done any videos using the Packer maxx culipacker?
Not yet, but coming this spring!
Thanks a nice looking tiller and it's doing a good job. Want to come to my place?
Hehe, I've got way more tilling to do here :)
How would you compare the 4 blade Oregon to the 6 blade Dirt Dog for overall general use in the 60 inch model? The $300 difference is not a big issue. What is the weight of the 60 inch Oregon?
This is Oregon's take on the 4 blade "4-blade design drives more force per blade than a 6-blade tiller, allowing up to 7″ tilling depth and the ability to tackle particularly heavily rooted and rocky areas." Personally, I haven't seen much of a difference in finished results or number of passes between 4 blade and 6 blade. I don't think it matters a whole lot. Weight is around 600 lbs.
Do ye use stone buriers much in the states they be perfect for this job
We don't use them, I've never even seen one except on YT.
When is the bigger summit tractor being released.
Not sure, possibly in the fall, but could be into next year.
is it possible to put any tiller on the back of my X534 John Deer?
So I have a tiller and was using it yesterday and the top cap for the pto gear box vibrated off. So the whole time I was tilling the dust was getting into it. I suspect I should change the oil out but there isn't a drain. Should I just do a pump out from the top and get what I can and call it good?
I'd definitely drain it...perhaps you can rock it forward to get it to drain?
Hmm, looks very similar to my Woods tiller.... As in I'm pretty sure that's a Woods with an Oregon sticker and grey paint.
Could a Summit handle a 5’ dirt dog tiller, or are you pushing the limits of the HP by going with a larger tiller?
I'd probably stick with a 48". 60" may be doable for light tilling, but to utilize it to the fullest extent, stick with 48".
I'd be interested in this tractor if it had a mid-mount mower deck
it’s coming!
Do you think this tiller can be used behind a Kubota B52 2 wheel drive tractor?
I'd use a bigger Dirt Dog unit on your tractor. www.goodworkstractors.com/product/dirt-dog-rotary-tiller/
Noticed you did not disengage the tiller when raising it. Is that ok to do without damaging anything?
Perfectly fine
I always throttled down before I would raise it, so it’s good to know that it isn’t necessary.
PTO shafts have the same old addage from electricians. You can cut it, but you can't stretch it.
Haha, I like that
Would it not be more convenient if the depth was set with pins instead of bolts?
I’ve yet to see any video (not a criticism here) of a tiller working soil that truly had rocks. I’d love to buy one in place of discs, but I just can’t see one standing up to the flat rocks we have in my area. Thing would have to be so over-engineered that it would cost $10-$12k at least. It’s awesome seeing them go to work in other soil types though,
Your rocks are different than other folks rocks. My 140 acres has lots of 2-4" rocks. That's rocky for around here. If you have lots of rocks bigger than that, you're in a tough spot. Perhaps a disc, although I've lodged many larger rocks in discs and that's annoying to deal with too. There are tools called rock buriers. Perhaps you'd need to get your hands on one of those and then could use a tiller after that. Also rock pickers, but you need to have the soil worked to use those.
@@GoodWorksTractors The hard truth is, some land probably was never intended to be used for planting…..but…we do it anyways!!! 😂
As an aside: I planted 5 trees and have 5 more to do today, using to stump bucket. Works beautifully. Also, re-dug the drainage ditches on my trails, and removed countless invasive shrub/trees. That HD stump bucket is a brute!
Love it, thanks for the field report!
One tool you don't see much any more is a disc plow. uses larger discs than an ag disc, and will go deeper. It will plow soil that is so rocky you would risk breaking a moldboard plow.
Do you have to put oil in the side gearbox
This one came filled in the side gearbox, but not the top gear box.
I have seen you test the summit tractor for a while now. Would you personally buy one for yourself ? Or would you stay with a John Deere or a Kubota tractor .🚜🤔
I would buy one. I've bought so many tractors and one of the biggest things I hate about getting a new tractor is then having to do all the other stuff. "trick it out". Load the tires, add remotes, change out tires, add accessories like mirrors, hitch points, etc. It's proven very reliable so far and I absolutely love how heavy it is. While I could see the extra weight being a disadvantage to some, for me, I feel much safer as an operator.
@@GoodWorksTractorscompact & subcompact tractors remind me of 'semi' tractors in the sense that many are using the same engine and other power components. Eg: Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner etc have Cat, Detroit or Cummins engines. These compacts that you showcase are similar. Many use a powerplant from same manufacturers. It's mostly other components or 'design' that make each company unique. Isn't that correct?
Great video btw sir!
No slip clutch on the PTO shaft?
Yes, slip clutch is standard.
Must be nice to live in a region that doesn't have the nuggets below the surface like my area of New England...
It is very nice :)
What RPM do you run the tiller at ?
540 RPM, same for every 3 point PTO attachment.
I'm retiring next year and getting my first tractor. Definitely getting a tiller in either the 72" or 84" size (Thinking of the Kubota 4760 tractor). Some of the foodplots I'll be tilling are somewhat large, 3.5 & 8+ acres. I realize it will take all day tilling, but I'll be retired so not an issue. My question is, with doing larger plots - plus some smaller ones - will the Dirt Dog hold up as well as the Rhino Rebel? Or is the Rhino worth the extra cost?
Stick with the Dirt Dog, same thing as the Rhino, just much cheaper.
How does this compare to the Dirt Dog tiller?
What is all of the clanking and clattering you hear as you are tilling?
Rocks, quick hitch connection/tiller, general tractor noise. Normal.
Yeah i noticed that a lot of the noise on my tiller which is a different brand was the kickstand. So I just take it completely off and throw it in the toolbox while tilling.
@@billt881 Don't really hear much with ear protection anyways. Doesn't bother me.
The implement industry is so incestuous! That's as far as I can tell identical to my Kioti 60". Awesome tillers. I do wish the depth adjustment was toolless (unless you keep the pivot nuts/bolts loose you need to wrench on six bolts to move depth). Great video, hope to see what you did to followup on the lawn smoothing (I'm thinking a roller would be ideal after tilling)
Very few actual manufactuers. Lots and lots of white label/private label stuff going on for sure.
I gotta say most channels I see y’all have awesome dirt. I don’t mean it the most rich soil but rocks are sparse
Kioti dealer wanted $4k new for this unit, and now tractor supply has it listed for $2200…. I imagine someone’s blood pressure went up somewhere… 😂
For the same unit? Most TSC implements I've looked at are on par with Harbor Freight. Poor welds, parts not bent or welded at the correct angles, pieces assembled backward, upside down, or too far apart/close for standard pins to easily fit, and cheap/chipping paint.
@@Noah_E They are the exact same machines from Woods with a different paint color and brand sticker.
Can I buy your John deere 4720
Maybe! For sale soon I hope
Is just me or did that tiller make alot of clanging noise even when it was not in the ground, just wondering
There are so many things on a tractor and attachments that make noise. You've got the floating tailgate, you've got the parking stand, the quick hitch to attachment, 3 point arms, the safety chains, I'm sure I'm forgetting some things too. All sorts of non-rigid connections that clatter. There's a term for it called "using a tractor", haha :)
Just sounded loader then my does ,could be the video
@@davebeam8557 it should as the mic was mounted right next to the tiller. Much closer than your head I hope! 😂
@@GoodWorksTractors lmaoooo
From a distance that '480RT' looks like it said "ABORT".
😂
Only want to go in 3 or 4...not max...yea that's what I tell her...
Drive slower and you will get more even results with fewer clods and lumps.
Not that deep… looks like you are on the lowest setting on the sled. Doesn’t that mean you are going 7” deep?
I’m not lowering the three point all the way. More than one way to control depth.
@@GoodWorksTractors that makes sense and good thought to float to ensure even leveling 👍
HARLEY RAKE would have worked much better...
looks like you didn't finish your sentence with the "...". I'll finish it for you. "if you want to spend 5 or 6 times as much money". 😂
