Pics - Frontier RT1260 mounted on 3320 and Imatch

BloomingtonMike · May 5, 2006

I brought it home tonight. Used the 3320 and 300X FEL to unload it from the trailer and mounted it up. This is my first connection ever of a rear PTO implement. Let me know what you think. BTW - I added bushings and she worked out of the box with Imatch. Pretty tight fit.

Looks like you put her in the dirt as well.
Pretty beefy appearance. The top link mount is definately beefy looking.
Was the PTO connection tight and frustrating? The first time I connected my tiller I thought I was going to throw a tantrum. It comes on and off way easier now though.

Oh yeah - I was not doing all that working getting it home and not getting it in the dirt. It is very powerful.

Yes it was a chore hooking it up. Not much room hooking it up at all. I learned to hook up the pto with the tractr "just about" ready to hook up with I-match. The slowly come back and pick up up the tiller with the Imatch.

I will get the hang of it I am sure.

I also learned the tractors PTO guard lifts up.

I have a 3320 with Imatch a fronter shreader,bb and and Bearcat wood chipper. I find the PTO shafts on all my implements to be a pain to hook up. I will try the same idea with the shreader and see if it is easier. Thanks for the tip!. The guard is a pain but I hooked a bungie strap to the left side ROP and hold it up out of the way until after hooking up the pto. There is a hole in the guard on the left side. Makes a frusting job just a bit easer untill I grow that third arm and hand!

Nice looking tiller bloomington mike hope you like.I just got my John Deere 665 tiller and love it. I think the frontier is the almost the same as my JD 665 at least they look the same. Looks great.

I'm currently trying to decide between the Deere 655 and Frontier RT1160. No local dealers have either in stock. Quoted prices are around $2200 for both.

Deere is 40# lighter but has 6 tines per flange 55" working width 60" total width.
Frontier has 4 tines per flange 57" working width 62" total width.

Anyway thanks for the pics that 1260 looks pretty nice.

I see some major issues with your install Mike... in fact, shoot me an email with your home addy. I'll come take your pretty green attachement off your hands so you don't have to worry about hooking it up...
