I was looking at my tiller the other day and it occurred to me that it might be possible to flip the axle over so the tiller became a reverse cut. I used to have a walk behind tiller that was reverse cut and it had a couple of advantages; One is that the tiller is much more controllable. My tractor is a bit light in back and the tiller tends to climb out of the hole whereas it lifts the back tires and then pushes the tractor forward. A rather exciting experience if I may say. Second advantage is that by using a reverse cut tiller the tiller pulls it's self down so the 3pt hitch stays tight and accurately controls the depth. The third advantage would be the improved pulverization. I also remember that old tiller would just crumble the soil because the soil had to circulate over the tines instead of just being kicked out back. Anyways, just wondering if anybody ever tried to flip the axle over?
