Can a BX handle a 5ft rototiller? I can get a used one but I'm affraid it might be a little to big for my BX.
5ft rototiller on a BX

How much does it weigh? How much will your BX lift? What type of ground do you have? If you can handle the weight you can always take tines off.

I use a 48 in. Land pride tiller on my BX, I'm always moving slow due to rocks in my soil, no problems as of YET.

I'm pretty sure the manual recommends use of a 42", but I've used a 50" for years, no way would I try a 5' unit.
We have a BX2660 and in our soil it's all it can handle (Red River Gumbo) it has 19.5 Hp at the pto and 25.5 engine Hp
Thank You everyone for your responses. I guess I'll let the 5ft go and wait for a 4ft to show up.
I run a 50inch reverse rotation landpride behind my 2370. It works great, digs quite well and never slows down. I don't think I would go much bigger though, but that's just my 2 cents worth.
wise decision.
I run a 5' behind my L3010 and its all I want to handle. It weighs a tad over 700#
You will be much happier w 48"
