You are still showing a 9 rotor KK versus a 7 rotor in the Tarter brand. Ken Sweet

Well....they're both 72" so which would you prefer, the 7 rotor or 9 rotor??

The 6 ft Tarter has 8 rows with 6 tines per rotor and the King Kutter website show 6 ft in the parts manual 8 rows of tines with 6 tines per rotor? Ken Sweet

The 6 ft Tarter has 8 rows with 6 tines per rotor and the King Kutter website show 6 ft in the parts manual 8 rows of tines with 6 tines per rotor? Ken Sweet

The KK website I went to said this:
Part No. - 505054
Description:
TILLER TINE SET 72IN
27R AND 27L

27 left tines + 27 right tines = 54 tines total divided by 6(tines per flange) = 9 rotors = 9 rows of tines with 6 tines per rotor on a 6 ft King Kutter(72" tiller)

I tried to do the same on tarter's website and in their owners manual but the info is not given anywhere. All I had to go by is the pic on your website that shows a new 6ft tiller with 7 rotors on a pallet.

I just counted the rows on the 72 inch in the parts breakdown and there are 8 rows. Maybe they can get it corrected when they get time? Ken Sweet

I just counted the rows on my 7 yr old 6 ft KK tiller and there were 9(nine) rows= 54 tines

I think you are right Jim, The parts breakdown on the KK website just needs updating or something? Ken Sweet

They have the right quantities if you click on the tine sets but they use the same drawing for every size on the website. Even the 48" parts drawing shows 8 rotors.

Here is the reality:

Model# / Width / #tines / flanges
TG-48/ 48"/ 36/ 6
TG-60/ 60"/ 42/ 7
TG-72/ 72"/ 54/ 9
TG-84/ 84"/ 66/ 11

Now, if we get all that info on the tarter then we'll have something to go on.

Well, If we could get reverse rotation capable on a forward rotation tiller like Tarter at basically the same price point as KK, progress will indeed may made. What is the tine scroll diameter on the KK? It is 16" in the Tarter which should give about a max tilling depth of 7 inches, if buried to the axle. Forward or reverse capabilities all come in the same machine on the 4 ft, 5 ft and 6 ft Tarter. Ken Sweet

I've run my KK tiller several hrs and I think there's no way to get it to till 7"s deep with the skid shoes in place and at their highest position. I'd have to measure it to believe a Tarter will till 7"s deep. Maybe my soil is too hard.

Does the power takeoff shaft have to be cut, or does it come the correct lengh ?

I asked the dealership that I bought my tiller from to cut the PTO shaft. They kind of looked at me like I had just shot their dog but then went ahead and cut it for me. They must have wanted the sale and I had bought the 7510 there a few years before.

I figured if it was cut wrong and it blew out the rear end of my tractor they could make it right.
