I'm running a reverse-tine Sicma (Phoenix) tiller behind my L3940HSTC. It's their extreme heavy-duty model T10R-66GE, (or, outside of the states: RCS/165). Both tiller and tractor work great. But the reverse rotation is kicking dirt and stones up onto and into the back of the tractor. Some of the rocks are surprisingly big. Every once in awhile, one wings forward so violently, I know it's just a matter of time before one takes out my small lower rear cab window - or worse, the large one. I can also see it causing other problems, with rocks getting jammed in the travel path of the 3-pt. up and down, etc.
I've am already designing a guard to keep this from happening. (It doesn't appear that the maker has anything listed along the lines of such a guard.) But I just wondered if anyone else has had this situation with the reverse tillers, and what they did about it.
