3 point tiller for bx2200

[lpigott]

A thing I forgot to mention about the disk harrow. Price $438 tax included. I would like to have a tiller but a grew up on a farm and although I can afford to buy a tiller I can't make myself do it when I know I could buy a new disk and a new bushhog for the same price of a tiller. Funny someone mentioned that "why don't more farmers have a tiller" because I had that same thought after I made the first post. The answer to that is simple; price, longevity, and efficency.

Michael,

It is adjustable for shifting to side.

Terry,

If I'm correct on my landpride models that should be a 1542
right? My dealer has a couple of 1050s I have to check out
and get pricing on. Should be lighter but wider I believe.

Thanks,
Michael

Michael,

I read and replied to your previous post rather quickly. I have the 1042 rather than the 1542. It is a little lighter unit with some offset available. It is not listed as side-shift like the 1542, but I am not sure what the difference is - enlighten me if you know! Anyway, you can compare for yourself at http://www.landpride.com/lp/products/rt_main.html

Happy tilling!

Terry,

The side shift models usually have a square or hex driveshaft going through the gearbox to the chain or gear final drive (the horizontal shaft running on top and parallel to the tine shaft). It will be shielded but exposed. The gearbox/PTO shaft/3pt assembly can then be slide along the driveshaft to any point desired and then clamped down to the frame. This keeps the PTO shaft inline with the 3pt and allows a wide range of variation.

In most cases I've seen the unit is adjusted as needed and left that way.

Hope that helps,
Michael
