I'm thinking about tilling up some pasture along a fenceline in order to plant some trees for a windbreak. Any of you guys hire someone with a large ( 7 or 8 ft. wide ) rotory tiller on a 3 point hitch. What did they charge?

You would need to break that up first before roto tilling if it's pasture gonna be hard as rock, otherwise way to hard for just a roto tiller Imo.

There are companies out there that do large power tilling jobs. Years ago we had a guy in doe some fencelines and grass sloughs. Guy had a 500hp 4 wheel drive tractor pulling a 16 ft power tiller. Takes a lot of hp but the guy left a foot and a half of pulverized soil behind him with one pass. Was like a garden

You need to break that up with a disc or plow then take the chunks off, then roto till, or just get a tree spade and tell them where u want them and they will spud them in for ya all is good then.
