Tiller Mounted Hiller

rims421 · Feb 13, 2012

I have a 6' wide 3pt tiller that i run on a New Holland TC-35.
Would it be possible to mount somthing on the back of the tiller to make some 3' wide raised beds in one pass. I would like to be able to take the the freshly tilled soil and move it in about 18" on each side to give me a 3' bed. I would like to be able to move the soil in one pass rather than compact it with the tractor wheels and then try to move it.
Any Ideas?

Some of the Yanmar and Hinimoto tillers that came over had removable sections of tail flap that could be removed to make different shaped beds. They has chains like a dump truck to hold the tail flap down. It works pretty good in good soil. Just make another tail flap and put it on the tiller.

Thats a very interesting idea.
I was thinking I would have to mount something behind the tiller to move the freshly tilled soil.
But I like the idea of reducing the opening on the rear of the tiller.
