Adjusting a tiller

[powerscol]

Also check out the Ansung Terra Force line. Built like a tank and heavy - dig well Running a YJR 074 with 26.5 HP and love it.

You should be able to pull the link arms off the three point and lengthen your arms out.

I have a chipper that needs the 3pt short. The King Kutter II tiller needs the links long. The bushhog ranges change significantly at each setting. Shortened---it won't mow downhill slopes behind me, lengthened, it contacts the top link.

When nothing is on your 3 point--how close will the draw bars come to ground level? A tiller needs to get down deep.

3 points are all three points, but the lengths and spans all change. Unless that tiller was hopelessly outclassed by your machine, there should have been a configuration for it.

Make sure the PTO shaft isn't too long. It may be bottoming out and not allowing
the tiller to lower as far as it can. If this is the case it can REALLY damage
your tractor.

Now you know why i don't like those poorly designed tillers... NOT all tillers are created equal!!

Wait a minute... Sawyer Rob - your calling this a poorly designed tiller, you don't even know the brand name, and Walkin Horse ran it a 1.76mph - which is like Mach 1 for a tiller.
At 1.76mph the tiller was not allowed to do it's job, even if the ground was plowed and disc'd the tiller still needs time to chew itself into the dirt, loosen all the soil.
At this speed, all you did was scalp the top of the dirt.

Also you said it had rained the day before... you don't get great results tilling wet soil.

How does this qualify the tiller as a poorly designed tiller?

You are wrong on several points...

1. I commercial till, and i regularly till at 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 mph, my tillers do a nice job at those speeds...and I have tilled more than a "few" acres (read thousands) so I do know how to set up a tiller and what is a better design. (I own three right now)

2. most ground tills up better after a rain, just so it wasn't too much rain.

3. yes he did state the brand!

4. AND the BIGGEST tell tale sign, that it was a poor design of all: HE SAID it was a 4 tine per flandge!

I could go on, but that will do for now...

Well I have been wrong before

I bet I will be wrong again ... and again
and again
and again
and again...

oh wait I forgot !!!!!!!!!!!!! - need exclamation points after every sentence to make sure folks know I am screaming at my keyboard....

I asked you how this qualifies.... I am a freaking rookie at ALL THINGS TRACTOR....
Yea I missed the brand name - dang... my mistake...

HOW is anyone supposed to know your experience....... so I asked HOW... thanks for all the information and the !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - got to love this kind of response.

To my knowledge there are many 4 tine per flange tillers out there that do professional work. Although six sounds better than four, the difference may be minimal.....:2cents: Four tines make me especially happy when I'm under there cleaning up the box and tines.....after the tilling is over.
Cheers,

I'm glad you said "the difference MAY be minimal", with "may" being the key word...

4 tine or 6 tine, it all depends on who you are wanting to make happy ?. IF you want to make YOU happy, it doesn't make much difference... IF you want to make a "paying customer" happy, then you better have what does the BEST job at a fair price, and that would be a "properly" designed tiller with 6 tines per flange.

You guys are happy with garden tillers, I'm talking field tillers, that are a much stronger better designed, that have features making them work better.

I have re-thunk this matter, and have noticed that you and Walking are talking about 6 foot tillers used on acres. I stand corrected.
