Tiller impliment

[IDkleine]

Could someone tell me if this could for on a 8n or 9n tractor? Also is this worth a thousand dollars used? I'm in Alaska so things cost a bit more here. Is it junk? Thanks.

Does your Ford tractor have an auxiliary step down trans? If not then 1st gear isn't slow enough speed for tiller operation. Price appears OK

Kuhn makes a very good product, but, your tractor is probably geared wrong and more importantly it has neither a live nor independent PTO.

I have 4 n model tractors but I don't know a whole lot about them. The one I've had the longest has a high/low shifter down by the clutch pedal. Is that what you mean? No the pto is not live I don't think.

(quoted from post at 06:55:41 12/09/15) I have 4 n model tractors but I don't know a whole lot about them. The one I've had the longest has a high/low shifter down by the clutch pedal. Is that what you mean? No the pto is not live I don't think.

Yes extra shift lever is what I was referring to for auxiliary speeds.

The normal gear reduction or increase tranny on all 3 or 4 speed Fords keeps the PTO speed in same ratio as the ground speed, What it will do if it is a reduction gear model is make it so PTO speed will be at same 540 RPM at the direct drive position and in low reduction the engine will have to turn at and I am guessing at these figures 1900 RPM, if a overdrive-speed increaser transmission engine speed at PTO speed would be down to again guessing 1100 RPM. Fine for very light load PTO operation and setting still. the oposite end will give more power for that setting still load. The ONLY way to run a tiller of of any 3 or 4 speed Fords would be the ultra rare underdrive transmission that fit on back side of transmission instead of front Howard, and very scarce and fragil. That tiller is made for only a new 4 wheel drive compact type tractor with a creeper or hydrostatic transmission. It is also too narrow for your tractor and it may also have a narrow 3 point hitch hookup that is not compatable with your ford. Also might be set up for 1,000 RPM PTO instead of the 540 RPM PTO you have. The Fords are a good tractor for what they were made for but something like that is not in that catagorie. And I do have a 2N Ford that has been with me for 71 years and also a 41 9N Ford.

No. Your tractor's low gear is way too high.And no live pto and inadequet poewr is pretty much a deal killer.

It will probably turn into junk if you have even one rock in your field.

everyone I seen with the aux trans also slows down the pto

 

[old]

Ground speed even if you have a aux transmission on any of the N series tractors is way to fast for a tiller. The Sherman aux you have even if it is an under drive unit slows the PTO down so ground speed and PTO speed will not match and work with a PTO drive tiller. We have a 841 with a Sherman combo and my dad tried a till once and found it to be a joke at best even in ground that had been tilled with a walk behind tiller.

 

[IDkleine]

Thanks yeall. I really appreciate you breaking it down for me. I figured there would be problems, but was hopeful anyway. I have a few acres of tall grass and fireweed I bought and am trying to figure out how to break the ground with my equipment. Anyhow thx again.

The howard trans for fords or fegusons and is mounted after the transmission. It will slow down the tractor without slowing down the pto unlike the sherman trans. I have one listed in the ad section on this site.

I have both a dearborn tillit and howard rotovator. By adding The howard trans to your 9n/2n/8n it will slow down you tractor without slowing your pto as already been stated. The photo is my 2n equipped with a step-down sherman and a howard trans shows my wife on the back planting taters. I stepped off the tractor to take the photo. You can walk on your hands faster than this tractor drives.
I have a howard trans for sale in the ad section which will slow down your tractor to use a tiller. That said these old ford were built for plowing. It would be a lot cheaper to pick up an old 2 bottom and disc than to buy a howard and rototiller.
With your old ford the pto has to be on to raise the tiller which means the blades will be spinning. My howard rovovator has a lever to shut in down but the rotovator is a direct mount to the tractor which is a pain to mount and dismount unlike modern 3pt hitch tiller. My dearborn tillit is easier to mount and I don't hook up the pto shaft until I'm at the field ready to till.
The tiller that is listed is small and will not cover your tracks. Probably built for a compact tractor.
