Mowing Does anyone know what model this is? or make?

[Mikewhit]

This is my first post on this website. I have a 48" tiller and was wondering if anyone might know who makes it or what model it is. I think it might be a Yanmar, but am not sure.

:welcome:
Looks like it is built for that specific tractor, that would be Yanmar if the tractor is the same.

I agree it is a yanmar chain drive. probably a 1200 series which equals 47.244 inches.

I am interested in the tractor. What kind of hitch is that? It appears to be a dedicated tiller machine.

It fits on a Kubota L140 tractor. It is bolted to the tractor at the pto shaft (4 bolts) and then attached by two lift arms.

It is a chain drive from the upper shaft to the lower tine shaft. I am hoping to find a parts manual or some documentation. I am attempting to get the box that attaches to the pto off to see why it will not spin. All the other gears and shafts move freely.

By the way. Thanks for the warm welcome. I appreciate your comments.

You're always welcome here (Yanmar forum) but I suspect you will get more relevant replies on this tiller, over in the Kubota forum.

Come back and share with us what you learned!

Well, I'll eat crow here. Yanmar and Kabota are from the same land so I guess they get ideas from each other. That little wheel adjustment on the back (I think for gauge wheels) is real similiar to Yanmar. :ashamed:

I posted the pictures on the Kubota forum and only learned that it has some charactoristics of a Yanmar tiller. So I did not learn much yet.

Does anyone have a picture of a similar type tiller (2 point)? Maybe the gears/pto head unit are the same??

I am disassembling it to determin why the pto shaft does not turn. It appears that I will have to dismantle the chain drive end in order to get the pto head unit apart to see the gears (and hopefully the problem). At that point I could be in search of parts.

If this comes over you will see one. If not, you may have to go over to it. Yanmar Tractor Support Message Board • View topic - Yanmar 1401 with tiller-tiller kicks up
