Got my 60" KK tiller hooked up to the B7800. The tiller is built like a tank. Couple of questions...
When the pto is running but the tiller it high up on the 3ph, there's a clunking from the shaft that goes away as it's lowered. I'm assuming that it's not good and that the shaft should not be turning at such a sharp angle. Just what is making that clunking sound and is something getting chewed up?
Slip clutch - I set the nuts so that the tip of the bolt coming through would be flush with the nut. Well, I had lots of clutch slippage set like this so I changed so 1 thread could be felt protruding from the nut. Still some slippage. How far though the nut does anyone else have the bolts? The manual is poor on this - it says to have the nut touch the yoke - like there's no spring there. I slipped mine a lot experimenting and I could smell it. How thin does the friction disc have to be before it should be replaced (it's about 1/8" inch now) and where can I get a replacement?
Speed - It's slow going, like inching along. Is this the speed everyone else goes? Seems like anything faster and the vibration is unreal. Perhaps those with a heavier tractor to tiller weight ratio can go faster? It does a great job inching along, but I'm tilling an acre to plant a cover crop. I ran a cultivator through it first, but I don't think it helped much.
