thanks for the input- I've found an older Allis Chalmers hydrostat with an 18hp Briggs that runs a Simplicity 36" tiller off a PTO; guy wants $700 for it (with a 48" three-blade mower deck thrown in). Seems to be built like bridge iron and everything is AOK mechanically.
Just looking for a little easier way to have a decent garden in the future with a little less exertion.
Redneck- love that Deere setup!
Sounds like a good deal. Around you could pay that much for a decent used tiller all by itself.
