What size Tiller do I need for my tractor?

What is the easiest Tiller to use?

While they aren’t common, mid-tine tillers are the easiest of the three types to maneuver. Their engines are located directly over their tines, which distributes their weight in an evenly balanced way. This ease of use makes them a great choice for gardeners or farmers with large plots to till.
