Your Tiller Buying Guide

Tilling your fields is a crucial part of readying them for planting crops. A tiller is the piece of equipment you’ll need to perform this task quickly and efficiently. However, it can be challenging to locate the right tiller for your needs and budget, which is why this buying guide was created.

High Plains Equipment, with locations in Harvey and Devils Lake, is your North Dakota tiller dealer. Read on to learn what to think about when purchasing a piece of tillage equipment.

Budget

First, what’s your budget? You should do some research to see what tiller prices are like in your area. Remember that you can always investigate used options if you would like to save some money. You can get a ballpark estimate of how much you’ll need to spend on a tiller that you can then incorporate into your wider budget. A good quality tiller will last you for many years, making it a fairly sound investment, but you do need to set aside some funds for maintenance, storage and replacement parts.

Field Size

If you have a very small piece of property, you won’t need a really huge and powerful tiller that might just end up being too cumbersome to use efficiently. However, if your fields are very large, you’re going to want something sizable to help you save time and energy as you cover more ground. Make sure that you think about the row size, too, so you can get the right tiller for the dimensions of your fields.

Tractor Compatibility

Bear in mind that your tiller is going to have to be attached to your tractor in order for it to work. The PTO and size of your tractor will therefore determine the size of tiller you get. You should never overload your tractor, but you also want to maximize its potential as much as you can. Consider your tractor’s specs when shopping for a tiller so that you can get the most bang for your buck.

How You Till

Think about how often you till your fields to determine the type of tillage equipment you should buy. Maybe you need a primary tiller to chop through your tough soil to get it ready to turn over for planting seeds, or perhaps you want to get a tiller for helping you to turn that soil over instead. Do some research on tillage equipment to determine what will work best for you and how you can fill in any gaps in your tilling process with the right piece of equipment.
