Has anyone tried this? I see a lot of the old Cadet tillers for sale. If you've done so, can you describe your set-up?, mounting, belt, etc. I know tractor speed is an issue, but figure a few passes might be effective in my garden.
 
Not exactly, but Rick Prentice built a 3-point hitch and attached a Model 15 Tiller to his cub.
Regarding speed, put the tractor in neutral and let the tiller do the pushing. Use the brakes to control the speed.
 
The ones I've seen for sale are driven by a chain and not the PTO. Do you know if this Is this what Mr. Prentice used?
 
Rick didn't use a cadet tiller. He used one from the numbered series (PTO driven) but adapted it for use with a cub.

To adapt another piece of equipment for use with a cub, you are probably better off mounting a motor to the implement and making it self powered. (or purchase something like this)

Other options include finding a Hub City PTO speed reducer to convert your PTO to a 540RPM that turns the correct direction.

And then making a 3-point hitch for your cub. This is one another member made.

Then, pick up a regular 540 RPM implement. This would be the highest cost option. Might be cheaper to buy a numbered series tractor with the implement.

OK, thank you for all of the information. It doesn't seem to be an easy option. A Cub disc that can be lifted (a 28 I think) would fit my needs. As the barn is down the road a piece from the garden, I need to be able to transport over the road. But they are not easy to find hereabouts. Thanks again.
