Tiller for BX...

As everyone else says.... just add a slip clutch. Apparently, they don't have rocks in China ???

If your tiller has a standard six spline @ the tiller end, you can buy a slip clutch that goes on just as your tiller-end PTO shaft does..... then, just slip the PTO shaft onto the slip clutch (after you adjust the length of the PTO shaft).

Do a search here on TBN for the correct process on adjusting your slip clutch once it is installed.

Just out of curiosity, how much did you "save" by purchasing this tiller versus a known-quality brand (e.g. Land Pride)?

The reason I ask is that the slip-clutch PTO shaft will not be inexpensive (typically around US$400 or so), and you have already broken two chains (with attendant tiller downtime as well).

I bought the tiller at a webb-auction, it was around 1/3 of the listed price.

Not to hijack, but my XB tiller came with a slip clutch PTO. As much as I could see in the illustrations, the slip clutch installs on the tiller side. Does it matter?
