Tiller add on accessory

[Goldnboy 1,156]

I picked up this a nice 36" tiller from an estate sale. It looks like they added a foot to keep off the ground. Never seen any before with this modification.. I am thinking this needs to be removed before working a garden.

Maybe they just wanted to break up the center of the tilled area better, the tines are spaced apart to miss the tiller housing.

Do you think it was added to assist in attaching to the tractor. I use a short piece of 4x4 and 6x6 to help me attach implements to my 414-8. Can it fold under the tiller when moving to be out of the way, if so it may be to assist in keeping it elevated.

I agree with @lynnmor, seeing the Vee shape facing fowrard...

Try it first you can always take it off later might work like a charm....

It looks like it would swing back when tilling and when tiller is lifted for removal would swing down to become a jack stand. Very ingenious!

Another thing came to mind, a hydro tractor is pushed by the tiller under most conditions, that blade might help control that push.

That is pretty much what i see it doing now since it swings back and holds it off ground 6"
