Tilling the Garden

[Prater 76]

Here are a few pics of Dad on the C-111. Did not have my video camera with me so a few still shots to share...

It took more time to get the 111 out and to the garden than it did actually till up the garden.

:D Way Cool! Daddy Don done a nice job on the C-111

I think Terry is getting close to having his Tiller ready to go. What size belt did you wind up using?

Gary, it has a 140 on it but with the idler its still too long. He has a 138 on order to try.

[Daddy Don 909]

The #1599 belt is supposed to measure out to 1/2" x 139" according to a dealer that measured it for me.

question on the tiller.

If a tine grabs a root, that isn't moving, is there a clutch that slips, or how does it handle it?

On my Troy Bilt Tiller, The tines will then act as the drive force, and the tiller leaps forward.

I was thinking of a tiller for my 414-8.

Thanks, looks like it does a good job.

If the tine hits a root or real tough soil it will push the wheel horse forward. This

really is something to watch out for as the tines are capable of surprising you like

that. You got to keep your arm ready to disengage the pto. Other than that, the

tiller belt will slip a little bit but slippage shouldn't be relied upon for your safety.

Thanks Sawhorse. The first time I used my Horse tiller, it caught a root, and leaped thru a fence! Actually broke 2 pickets. Good it was my fence!

Kicked up a few sprinkler heads, and spooled about 15' of sprinkler wire around the tines, on my last job! See said the area was clear.

very nice,what is that front mount? a reciever

for a trailor hitch?

[Daddy Don 909]

The front is for a receiver slide. I use it to pull my boat with. I made it out of a old mule drive. I cut a old receiver hitch down and welded it into the mule drive. It works great. The only thing is make sure that it is secured to the frame so it cannot lift up when using it. I used a clamp to do this. The best thing is I can remove the long tube from the hitch and store it. Or I can remove the whole thing and have nothing on the front of the tractor.
