As far as tillage on the ground, I'm still trying to figure that out. Its a different type of soil than I have around home. Probably no-till beans into cornstalks and chisel/deep till the bean stubble if I would get the chance late this fall or early winter for corn.

I still have a 3185 Fastrac and it works well.  I don't usually use it for tillage because it is my spraying, liming, and fertilizer tractor and I need the road speed there.  It will work for tillage, but I use my 7820 IVT when I get the chance.  I have run a 3220 and love it, but my 3185 has over 3500 hrs on it and runs great, so I'll keep it.  No major troubles with my 3185.  Its an Auto shift.  If you buy a Fastrac make sure its a 3185 or newer, not a 185.  I have had a few minor electrical troubles, but they weren't too hard to fix.
