I want to buy a roto tiller to do my gardens with and wondering what size would be best for my 17 hp tractor? Looking at the King Kutter TG-48 inch model for sub-compact tractors up to 25 hp.

I played around with it and it does turn over, still clicking though at times, when the purple wire to blade connection is disconnected and old wire is put back on. It turns over but does not start. third lamp goes out almost right away when turning over. believe this lamp has to do with engine...

&&**%$*** very frustrated, hooked it and nothing, no clicking....wonder if something is lose.. del

Buz where does the wire lead from that has the spade terminal on it? and what does the end of this wire normally connecto to? (solenoid end) thanks, Del
