Field Inspection
Do not use the tiller in wet conditions. Wet material will build up causing the tiller to lose effectiveness.
1. Thoroughly inspect the area to be tilled for ditches, drop-offs, stumps, post, rocks, and other
unforeseen objects that the tiller or the tractor can snag on or hit. Mark all potential hazards
before working the area.
2. Verify the tiller is set at the correct working height.
3. After the first 50 feet, stop and check to see that the tiller is adjusted properly.
4. Periodically turn the tractor off, remove the switch key, and check for foreign objects wrapped
around the spike teeth and frame. Block the tiller up before removing objects.
5. Frequently inspect the tiller and tighten all loose bolts and nuts.
Operating Instructions
The structure, performance, and operation of a rotary tiller is different from that of a plough and tiller,
so users should be familiar with its mechanism, structure characteristic, working principle, capability,
and operate it correctly. To promote the highest efficiency of the rotary tiller, prevent the damage of
the unit, and avoid personal injury, careful attention is needed.
Installing the Blades
To meet the agro technical need, different kinds of blade installation methods can result in different
cultivation effects.
1. Blade installation method. One blade is on the left side and one is on the right side and are
installed in the same section of the blade arbor. Blades installed on the same spire line have
the same directions (all left side or all right side). Blades on the ends of the cutter shafts are
bent toward the center of the shaft. Special attention needs to be given to the rotation
direction of the plough cutter shaft to avoid the mis-installation of the blades. The edge of the
blades should plough into the earth first or the parts of the machine will be damaged.
2. Installation method for row cultivation. When cultivating on the farmland with the same
ploughing width and farmland width, the right bent blades should be installed on the left cutter
arbor, and the left bent blades should be installed on right cutter arbor
Suspending the Tractor
The tiller is connected to the hydraulic hitch equipment of the tractor by a three-point suspension
method:
1. Remove the tractor hook of the tractor and demount the shaft cover of the PTO.
2. Reverse the tractor aiming at the middle of the hitch frame, raise the draught link to a proper
height, then reverse the tractor to the place where it is easy to be connected to left-right
suspending pin of the tiller.
3. Install the left-side draught link first and the right-side draught link second (the diagonal draw
bar on the right side has the length regulating mount to regulate the height of the right draught
link). Insert the bolt.
4. Install the top link and insert the bolt.
5. Install the gimbals assembly and be aware of placing the two clamps in the middle at the
same plane as illustrated in Figures 2-4. Once it is incorrectly installed, noises will be
generated during operation, causing the subsequent damage of the cross shaft. After
