All I know .

I'll pass the word along.

It was just a funny coincidence...a handful of us Ford retirees get together on Friday mornings for breakfast.
One of the guys asked me about a tiller for his 1025r...the next day you're writing about a tiller on your mom's 1025 r
Thanks

Most helpful for running a tiller is a very slow first gear.

Slower is most often much better.

Chews the ground up better, and you can use a wider tiller, often able to cover the tractor tracks then.

The old 10 speed Ford SOS trannys were great for that. I had a '63 4000.

Thought there were
More images of my Mother’s rototiller on the 1025R . The hydrostatic ground speed is handy .iirc the lighter units use a #80 drive chain and the heavier units a #100 drive chain ?
Even when adjusted to the max. The first pass is rather shallow . Have yet to attempt swapping the skid shows side to side in order to gain 1/2 an inch .
The subsequent passes are deeper as the skid plates sink into the soft soil .

When I want to till deep I take the skids off, my tiller is heavy so with the skids off in hard sod ground by the 3rd pass it’ll be tilling 6-8” deep
In the same garden ground 2 passes and done
My tiller is 82” that I pull with my Ford 4000, 52 pto hp
