Hey Don,

The clay here is just like concrete when dry, after the conversion, the finished bed was a drastic improvement, no more clumps.

Works great.

I have hard ground with lot's of clay, and I too found that in my ground the reverse rotation was better.

I couldn't compare 'apples to apples' as the 30" reverse rotation tiller was on the old Cub Cadet 2160, and the new 48" 'forward rotation is on the Massey. Although I could plant after one pass with the reverse rotation, and it takes two passes with the forward rotation.

Just curious, how did you determine the exact location of the gear so the meshing would be correct? I would think it would be critical to prevent excessive wear.

Take Care,

The housing is a perfect square, it was machined out by Kubota to make selling either reverse or forward rotation tillers as low cost as possible.

We only needed a new bearing pressed on. Was that simple.
