Kubota B2920 running a Land Pride 50 inch reversing tiller

This is a video of my new B2920 tillering my FIL's garden with a 50 inch reversing tiller. I have the tiller set at the highest setting, and it tillered it about 4 inches deep. I had to make 2 passes of each row (not shown) to get the desired 8 inches of tillered soil. My FIL is a very experienced farmer, and he was very impressed by the powered tiller and how it left the soil very chopped up, with very few large clumps of dirt. Everything was a very fine mix of soil, perfect and ready for planting.

Thanks for the tip! I have not heard that one before, and I just now listened to it and could not tell, but I suspect that you are right, and it's good practice for me to follow to at least lower the tiller till the drive shaft is level before engaging the PTO.

Great vid.. I just bought a B2320 with the same tiller. do you wish you had bought a diffrent model tiller... or are you satisfied with its performance?

@taborekle If you listen at 1:20 when you first engage the tiller, you can hear what sounds like a couple rocks rattling around in the housing, but just before the tiller hits the dirt, it disappears. That's the u-joints binding from too tight an angle. You'll hear it again at 3:15 when you lift the tiller all the way back up. Same sound from the driveline. Just be careful and you won't wear anything out sooner than normal ;-)

You need to be careful about running the tiller while the 3 pt is all the way up. You can really hear the driveline binding up in this video, but it quiets right down as you lowered the tiller to the ground and relieved the strain on the u-joints. The reverse til is a nice feature BTW

Nice rig. Engage the pto at idle. Alot less impact to the drivetrain. ;o)

Nice video. We have the same 50" LandPride with our Kubota bx2350 and that lil son of a gun runs the 50 just fine. Great implement and tractor.

Land Pride makes great equipment. Please don't take offense but that soil was worked b4 you started shooting video. I would have liked to see a weeded field being tilled. I'm sure that has a slip but your tractor does not have enough power trip the clutch. Just my HO.

hello, nice video

as regards to passing twice in order to produce a finer finish and good chopping ability,

when i till the soil with walk behind rovatators i use as lower gears as possible to help give the rotavator a chance to till with ease the soil and grass. looks like the tractor is moving a bit fast

looks a sweet tractor.. hmm also trying to by a small tractor as well
