Overview

Less maintenance with hardened and tempered gear drive transmission

The hardened and tempered gear drive transmission requires less maintenance than a roller chain drive. Enclosed in an oil bath, gear drive components feature higher wear life, decreasing maintenance costs.

Improve performance with reverse tilling option

Reverse tines rotation

Reverse tilling easily breaks up compacted and rocky soils as well as sod and hard clay. Reverse tines rotation keep the tiller in the ground and prevent the implement from walking on top of the hard soil.

Skid shoes control working depth
Easy adjust skid shoe height

Easily set the working depth by adjusting the height of the skids with the adjustment bracket.
