Overview
Primary purposes include maintaining vineyards and orchards, preparing seed beds for future harvest, and mulching in cover crops and stubble.
A well performing tiller should effectively produce a consistent mix of textured soil that is both loose and uniform in depth. The outcome is a fertile ground that maintains moisture and is protected against weathering and erosion.
Tractor HP, number of blades, and tilling width are three of the most important factors when determining the best fit for your subcompact or compact tractor.

The difference between forward and reverse tine rotary tillers | John Deere Tips Notebook
Forward Tine
Creates a finer soil texture than reverse tine tillers however do not till as deeply. Can typically operate with less HP. Best suited for estate and large property cultivation.
Reverse Tine
Buries topsoil and residue at the bottom rather than on the surface. Typically requiring greater HP than forward tine with the ability to reach further into the ground and produce a rougher soil texture. Best suited for large scale and commercial application.
Offset Tilling
Offset (also known as side shift) tillers provide the operator with the flexibility to extend the tiller a greater distance to the side of the tractor. This offers the benefit of tilling closer to objects and obstacles such as fences, posts, trees, and perimeter lines with less time and effort required by the operator.
Slip clutch
A slip clutch helps prevent damage to the shear bolts which occurs when hitting hard objects that lay hidden below the surface. Instead (as the name implies) the PTO will simply slip until the obstacle in question is no longer a concern.
Size Guide
Most rotary tillers range somewhere between 48” to 84” (4-7 feet) in width. Usually, the width will be consistent with tractor size, whereas smaller tillers will pair well with subcompact tractors and gear up towards midsized tractors when comparing to heavy duty models.
Working depth varies based on tiller size and tine direction. Most tillers are equipped with adjustable runners that can be set to till at a minimum of 1” in depth and increase in increments of 1” to reach the desired outcome.
