hello i want to buy a garden tractor and tow behind roto tiller for it. i am tilling a field that's 3/4 of an acre in size and i'm wondering what size tractor would be sufficient for towing an 8 hp tow behind tiller?

Welcome to the Tractor Forum!

I would think that any tractor or ATV would have the power to pull a tiller. Since the tiller has its own engine all the tractor does is roll it around. Depending on soil conditions and how rough the terrain is you may need something with more traction or higher ground clearance.

Most older Cubs are great for this. Just search out and you will find them!
Many on Craigslist all over.

The newer Cub 2500 and 3000 Series can do it also but the tillers are $$$$$$!

Older JD 300 Series do a good job also.

I am using a Craftsman LT series with 15.5 HP to tow my tiller.
It works just fine and I have been working about 3 acres.





It never even makes the Little Tractor work hard.

I do have to make three passes with the tiller though.
The 8 HP engine works to hard of I till to deep.
