PTO Reverser ??

[Ductape]

There was a Kubota made years ago.... i'd say in the eighties, that had a foolish reverse running PTO. It required all its implements made specifically for it. I have seen them advertised for sale with PTO reversers installed, so that they could be used with standard implements. I've never actually looked at the PTO reversers, but i've seen the ads for the tractors with them included. I assume it just slips on to the PTO, and is a small gearbox with a standard rotation, splined PTO shaft output. If my memory serves me correctly..... it was a B 6100 ??? Surely someone here has one that could help with this.

P.S. I would also assume you would want to reverse your tines.

Perhaps I'm missing something but couldn't you just till in both directions

It was the B 6000 not the 6100. The 6100 rotated normally. I owned a B 6000 and searched unsuccessfully for a PTO reverser for months. I even called Hub City. They no longer make them.

The only way I could see reversing a tiller would be fabbing up an extra gear box on the tiller itself that did it. For example, old VW vans/buses from the 1960s had a drop-axle gearbox (final drive) that reversed the direction of the axles. (You had to flip the ring gear over to the other side to use a bug tranny in them or you'd have a 4-speed reverse ).

I'm not sure if the old farm tractors with final drives reversed the rotation or not...

Landpride makes a reverse tiller. I just bought one. Works great 44 inch something like that. I was afraid of stalling , I have 17hp at the PTO. 44 inch works great for a kitchen garden just doing rows with the wheel space in between. I can reach everything from both sides. It can offet if I want it to cover the wheel
