Understand, I know this mechanical sideshift. I had nightmare on this. Many years ago when I started implement business, I was fresh and a fool at that time. I sold some tiller with this mechanism, and it made big trouble to my customers, they are easy to stuck the side shift.


1. this mechanism request more precise production capacity, mean many fixtures and mold during production, to make sure its parts size, difficult to control the quality.
2. Chinese steel plate is not as strong as Europe steel if at same level, and unstable. More easier to be bent during years work, then it will stuck the side shift.
3. Dust and dirt is easier to corrode this mechanism, it is tiller, tiller will get more dirt on its housing.
I think not only Chinese implement, also Europe and US implement face same problem. That's why we will see less and less this mechanism on the market.
If you see anyone is still selling this type machine, it means that manufacturer and seller doesn't understand this machine.
