Overview

This video answers a specific sizing question: can a Mahindra Max 26 XLT (25.9 hp engine, ~19 PTO hp) handle a 5-foot tiller. The owner runs it in his black Iowa soil, showing real-time tilling depth and engine lug, and explains why matching tiller width to tractor track width matters more than chasing the 5-hp-per-foot rule. Useful for shoppers weighing tiller size against a small tractor's horsepower.

An owner-operator (Kyle, K6 Outdoors) sharing hands-on impressions from tilling his own garden, not a dealer or expert reviewer.
