Tiller My "new" Used Bush Hog tiller

andrewj · Dec 7, 2008

I found one on the side of the road for sale -$300.00 - it is around 4-5 feet and can be offset. Bush Hog brand...looks like tines are in good shape.

Can anyone tell me if I got a good deal?

Also, the seller said some oil came out of the gearbox (I think it is chain driven) what kind of oil do I put back? How full do I make it?

There should be a gear box that the PTO shaft goes into, and on the side there should be a case that the chain is in.

The gear box should have a breather that acts as a dipstick.

The side with the chain ussually has a sight glass for oil fill level.

Can you find a model number on it? It does not sould like you have the manual. The gear and chain oils are ussually 75w90, and some chains want 75w140.
