I'm guessing you want this three foot tiller to go on a midsize tractor???

If not, find a used Simplicity. We have an AC 919 (old Simplicity made from steel) with hydraulic lift and a newer 36" tiller that we use on our aisles of plastic-planted crops. Only thing it is used for.

Willie - Can you explain how this would work?

No, I'm not sure what Bill wants to use a 30"-36" 3-point tiller for.
But, whatever it is, I think a narrow disk might serve better.
I know Bill has a high clearance tractor that will go over 20"+ crops
and it can be set up pretty narrow. But, I don't believe it can be set
up for 30"-36" to go between, rather than over, crops.

In short, I don't yet know why anyone would want a tiller (or a disk)
that is narrower than the tractor. I'm sure Bill will enlighten us.
