Tiller Rotary Tillers - Sicma Phoenix vs Ansung Terra Force

[MOTrussell]

my lift cap. is 1435 @24inches ,is this good enough of a safety factor?i dont want to damage my tractor if i can help it.

I hope others will chime in with more knowledge, but according to the specs, the YJR74 is 38.2" front-to-back. I know this can be affected by third point link length adjustment, and I assume the center of gravity of the tiller is at least at the center of the gearbox. With the weight of the tailgate, I would also assume the center of gravity is skewed a little toward the rear of center of the machine. For argument's sake, since 19.1" is half of 38.2", let's assume the center of gravity is skewed 6" toward the rear, which would put the center of gravity at 25". With the 500 lb. surplus budget that you have on lift capacity at 24", I think you would be within capacity of your tractor. I think the bigger concern would be that of HP based on your soil. e.g. new ground, rocky, sandy, etc.

Here is a link to an older thread that may be of relevance:

Like I say, I hope someone else with more knowledge chimes in on your concern.

Lets put it this way. Per specifications my Bobcat CT 235 has a 3pt lift capacity of 1100 lbs @ 24" with 26.5 PTO HP and I have zero issue running the YJR074 that I have. It lifts it fine. I just go at a speed that will not bog down the tractor, which only happens in heavy clay at full depth.

Hope this helps

Sweet - happy tilling

PS once you get it go over all the bolts with a wrench and just check. Others and I have found one or two that needed snugging once is a while. Also carefully read the manual, and check oil levels before operation.

When you get it set up and run it, you will find a sweet spot on the top link tilt while tilling. Try several different adjustments around the owners manual setting, and you will find one setting that will have very little vibration, and it will till like a dream.

Here are a couple of photos of my YJR080 tiller and the mount I fabricated to allow hooking up an 8 foot cultipacker (acquired from Edwards Implement). This setup works great for a single pass seedbed preparation for small seed (brassicas and clover) planting.
