Can this model be off set? It seems that a lot of people seem to have these and I was wondering if anyone was useing it this way? Thanks
sorry, I ment the country line brand from tsc

I don't think that the county line tiller can be offset. I know the one made by King Kutter can not. Not that I think an offset tiller is that big of a need.

How much offset do you need?

The 60" is made slightly offset to begin with - in other words the pins aren't centered on the implement. I didn't realize this at first and it used to drive me crazy when I first got mine. Once I had it centered between the wheels with the 3ph I could never get it to sit square without having the PTO shaft set at a slight angle.

When it is set square (tiller spool parallel to rear axle & PTO shaft perpendicular to rear axle) it doesn't quite cover my left tire, but completely covers my right. For me, this is almost perfect as it allows me to get in and out of some tight areas, and if I work from the right to left I can till without leaving any tire marks until I do the last row.

The Country Line version is a centered unit with no offset available.

I have a kioti ck20 right now and am hoping to sell it and get a kubota L3240. I was going to get the 60" and run it on the kioti for now and then was hoping once this one sold i could use it on the kubota, and it would still cover one side or the other of the tire span. I would just buy the 72" model but the kioti would not be able to run one that big, but I know of people on this board that are running the 60" with the ck20.
