Running a 540 tiller at 1k rpms is not something I would do for any reason I can think of. 1k rpm units have different gear reduction ratios to adjust for the increased horsepower that usually is put to them. The 1k rpm units turn the tines with much greater force rather than for any increase...

The fabrication of converting this unit to a 3pt is all but complete. I will post up some pictures of our design to do this when the following question has been answered. The PTO shaft of this tiller measures 29.6 mm (1.16 in) at the tines with a mic and there are 16 tines 4" long with no stop...

Me and Google thought we would put the tip you gave to good use. We located and have attached photos of an F155D with an attached RSA1205 tiller that is physically in Japan as I post this, ironically, on a site selling greymarket equipment...

I did see them both my good sir. I learned long ago before posting a question to a forum and ask someone to take the time and help you, help yourself first to a search of the forum and take the time to read if they have already answered it for you talking to someone else. Thank you for...

Update: The local tractor supply service manager dug up some info and informed me that this unit is a "grey market" model. It was not manufactured for use or sales in the US, however quite a number of them do find their way into the country. The hitch connection is known as JIS, Japanese...

I appreciate the tip you gave. Searching the F and FX connection I found a pic of how it is designed to hook up and have learned that this is a 2pt hitch and that it is missing some parts to it. I will now be confident in converting this thing to be useful. Attaching the photo of the 2pt...

Might anyone know then, what kind and size of tractor might this have been paired with for life? It is not likely that I will sell the unit. It is absolutely likely that it will be fabricated for 3pt use, but I still would like to know what it was in its first life before I modify it.

Tractor: Branson 2400h with 3pt PTO. Tiller: Yanmar RSA 1205 I was given this tiller by a man that knew nothing about it and didn't want it when I bought his mower off him. Free is a fairly good price on most occasions, however this may not be one of them. I am unable to find any direct...
