3 point tiller

[Anonymous-0]

I have a 53 Jubilee and would like to ask any owners who have knowledge on matching a tiller to this tractor? My owners manual says Taylor Disk TILLER...anyone use a 3 point on their jubilee?

I have never used a tiller with a tractor that did not have a low ground speed.
example: I have used the tiller with a to35 Ferguson with low range 1st or 2nd gear. Or other tractor with 12 speed trans

Tiller worked great with these tractors

Am sure the tiller would work with ford 860 powermaster with 5 speed.

Just do not know about the jubilee.

fordnaa,
I have a Jubilee. Wanted to put a tiller on it. The boys on the ford sight said it wouldn't go slow enough and have enough power. They said I needed a newer bigger tractor with SOS.

After doing the math, I decided to look for a garden tractor with a tiller. Found a John Deere on craigslist with a 30 inch tiller on the back.

No more tilling I'm going to do, it works great. Besides it is counter rotating. Neighbor has a tiller on the back of his Massey that is not counter rotating. Yes, mine is a toy compared to his, but it does a better job for what I want to do. Not to mention, it saved a lot of money.

Thanks George, I am rethinking my options

I just bought a jubilee that has a howard low speed transmission in it. The forums say that this is the only setup to till with a jubilee. Now I want a tiller to go with the Howard. Man is this thing slow with it in low gear.

I tilled up over 2 acres to re-seed the lawn. Used 6 ft disk on Jubilee to break up things. Used a trash rake to remove sod/weeds. Let ground sit for about 2 months, no rain. Then used JD tiller and it worked great to make a seed bed.

A "disk tiller" is a very different implement compared to what we think of today as a "tiller". The disk tiller is basically a heavy-duty single gang disk that throws the ground one way.

According to the Nebraska tractor test of the NAA Jubilee your tractor has a first gear speed in excess of 3 mph which is very fast even for vintage machines. Modern rotary tillers are designed to work at half that speed at most.

Most of the old fords never did well with a tiller till the 4000 or so series came out. 1st gear is just flat out way to fast for a tiller and if you have a Sherman aux transmission well it if it slows the forward sped down also slows the PTO so your still not well off. Forget any tiller and buy a disk and plow. My dad tried a tiller behind out 841 and it was out of the ground more then in the ground

With the Howard transmission, It slows the tractor speed down. The PTO speed is left as is
and thus becomes a nice tiller machine. Where
did you ever find a tractor with that transmission? I thought they were almost
extinct! What a find!
