Front tine tiller behind a Cub?
 

.


I'm thinking about trying an old front tine tiller on the 3 point hitch behind my 1541. I have all the metal laying around to try it. Has anybody done this this before? Did it work? I would remove the handles and set the tines to always turn if the engine is running.

Here's a video of what I'm wanting to try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdjs...ature=youtu.be

Yep, like that, but I plan to drag mine backwards.

Looks redneck to me........
But obviously it's been done.

I assume you can reverse the tine rotation? Otherwise wouldn't it just pile the dirt up in front of it? :bigthink:

I like to consider it to be "low budget" and using what I have, but yes you are correct, it's certainly redneck lol.

I was hoping to duplicate the self propelled, rear tine, counter rotation tiller concept


.

I use a front tine tiller, till forward rotation going down, reverse rotation coming back, as I back up the machine.

I can till the whole garden, and never have to turn around,, sure saves on "effort".

No, the dirt does not pile up,,,, but, the cultivator sure "churns" the dirt.

You have to be careful, when doing reverse rotation, the cultivator wants to head to China!! :bigeyes:

This is my point (if I'm understanding correctly), the tines are turning in the same direction of travel when you go forward then back. If he mounts the tiller backwards and drives forward it just seems like it will pile a bunch of dirt up in front of it under the tractor. After watching the video, I still don't know how much is piled up, but it does "churn" (throw) it all over the place!

Switch side of tines
 

Maybe you could unhook the tines and put them back on the opposite side they came off of? :bigthink:

Like this I found online?
