Tiller Landpride RTR0550 Reverse Rotation Tiller

[rvtech]

I'm considering a reverse rotation tiller for my subcut. I hear this is a good one. Anyone have one or know anything about them? Price?

I have a <font color="orange"> Kubota </font> FL1271RC. Not much difference between it and the Landpride model. I like the reverse tine tiller because it can do the job in one pass. Here is a link to a recent thread on the subject. Click Here
When I bought my tiller the Landpride was a little more than my <font color="orange">Kubota </font>. Which listed for $2500.
Be sure if you get one that it comes with a slip clutch. Because of the design these tillers will jam a large rock into top of tiller and stall tractor. Shutting off PTO will allow easy removal of rock. But without a slip clutch it will shear a pin every time.

Thanks, that picture of the tilled yard looks good. I'll also be sure not to buy too big. My 2305 has 18 pto H.P. I think it will swing a 50". The reason I asked about the RTR0550 model is because it is supposed to be for a "limited" cat1 - 3 point which is what my 2305 has. I think the limited part is for lifting height.

My Deere dealer does not have Land Pride. There is a Kubota dealer about 4 miles from me. They are also a Land Pride dealer. I'm going to check with them.

Forgot to mention one other item. I have never been able to till without having 4WD engaged with FEL on. Because the tines are reversed rotation. The tines are trying to pull tractor backward. Forward rotating tillers try to push tractor forward.
