tiller mount

Can this tiller be mounted using a 3ph?<ATTACHMENT filename="tiller-2.jpg" index="0"><s>[attachment=0]</s>tiller-2.jpg<e>[/attachment]</e></ATTACHMENT>

Arnold,
This one kinda beats me. If you're standing to the left of the supporting basket, you're looking at the end of the tiller that should mount to the tractor. I don't see on it the pins that the lower control arms will connect to or the upper member that completes the 3PH. Has this tiller been cannibalized for parts in the past? Also, the two rods that are sticking out the upper rear don't seem to be attached to anything. These should bee attached such that when you turn the little wheel, you are adjusting the depth of the till.

What model is that? I have an rs1300 that looks very similiar and it works on three point. Had to make shorter top link. Yours has extra baggage on the front. I really can't tell much about your picture. If I get time I'll try taking a picture of mine. The two rods sticking out the rear were originally for coulter type gauge wheels.

A better photo of its tractor-side would help, and I guess something's missing or broken or you wouldn't be asking, but I can't think what else it would be designed for. Can't tell its scale, might be for a larger hitch category than on a Yanmar.

Hi Arnold,

It looks like this is a 2pt -mounted tiller. What you need (at least) is an appropriate bracket to bolt on the tractor, for running this 2pt arrangement.

Talk to "Tractor Ernie" (scroll down to the last post on the following page):

He may have what you're looking for..

If so (I'm not familiar with 2-pts), would it not be worthwhile to look into converting it to a 3-pt?

This picture might help.

Here is an RS1300 tiller working for 3 point. When I got it I made a shorter top link and cut the drive shaft shorter. Runs about 6" from the back tires. Works great. The man that had it before me run it on a small international, don't know model number. The top link is folded back in pictures. It runs with the gear housing in vertical position.

You guys are great! I think it would be possible to either fab some mounting brackets or get a hold of tractor Ernie and start with the bracket he has<ATTACHMENT filename="tiller-1.jpg" index="0"><s>[attachment=0]</s>tiller-1.jpg<e>[/attachment]</e></ATTACHMENT>
