Includes a candid warning about using a 5-foot tiller on a subcompact in tough or rocky soil. Best for MT125 owners or subcompact tractor owners weighing tiller size decisions.

Yes, in good dirt the MT125 pulled the 5-foot Rural King tiller without issues, though hard or rocky soil may be too much for a subcompact.
Measure and cut the PTO shaft after hitching up, grease the fittings before assembly, and spray penetrating oil on the slip clutch.
Set the PTO lever to mid-PTO so the rear PTO rotates freely, which makes hooking up the shaft easier.
Follow the operator's manual and check all lubes and oils, including the two gearboxes most tillers have.
