wheel horse tiller

[canam1991 2]

can you buy any tractor supply tiller for a d 250 or does it have to be wheel horses tiller?

I'm not sure, but I think I read that WH pto's turn the wrong way, so if that is true it needs to be WH, but a 250 I'm really not sure. :banghead:

i was just wondering but i'll need a 3 pt before i think about that...

Any Cat 0 tiller will work on a D250. The PTO rotation question resers to the other D Series machines.

My D250 is 200 miles away so I can't verify this first hand for you, but I am 99.9% sure that the rotation and speed on the D250's rear PTO is unique to that tractor and is therefore NOT compatible with standard category 0 or limited cat 1 hitches/PTO's.

On the D-autos, the PTO turns 2000 rpm in a clockwise direction

On the D250 I am pretty sure it spins 1000 rpm in a counterclockwise direction. The tiller designed for this tractor only fits the D250...nothing else. It lacks a top link and has heavy "snorkel" that connects the PTO to the tiller AND stabilizes the tiller.

Most everything you are going to find on any ag equipment lot is going to have the ASAE standard 540 rpm in a clockwise rotation. A speed reducing/dirction changing gearbox was available for the D250 to convert from 1000 CCW to 540 CW, but it alters the location of the PTO shaft enough that it is only to be used with stationary equipment.

You can find 2000 rpm, CW tillers from other manufacturers to work with the D-autos, but finding something that will be "plug and play" for the D250 is much tougher to do.

Before you go to TSC and buy a tiller, please verify the direction of your shaft's rotation and let me know if I am wrong.

Yes but Tractor supply and Northern tool sell tillers for 1000rpm applications. There are several other manufacturers that have 1000 rpm settings on the rear PTO. As far as the tiller rotation, I was told it was the same other applications. My D250 is still apart so until I get the motor in it We'll have to wait and see.

I haven't seen 1000 rpm tillers this small...had no idea they were available but good to know!

The 1000 rpm Cw ag standard came to be when ag tractors started getting more powerful. if you up the speed on the shaft, you can carry the same horsepower through at a reduced torque. So to keep things manageable size the started going with 1000 rpm in some applications.

many of the imported and grey market tractors have multispeed shafts, but I never really looked into them to see if US implements were available in the speeds other than 540.

i think the direction of rotation is going to be the killer here. It might not be possible or wise, but i suppose if you find a 1000 rpm tiller you can run it backwards and reverse the tines...

I'm not 100% sure anymore, it's been years since I sold my D-250, but I think the pto shaft is metric. Like I say I'm not 100% sure anymore, but it seems like it wasn't a standard size or maybe sthe splines were different.

[baerpath 517]

D 250 pto speeds are front 1500 ccw, mid 1500 cw, rear 1000 ccw

6 splined shaft Smaller than a regular 540 shaft

There are D250 tillers avaliable. Why not just buy a correct one? It might cost a little more up front but you would have the correct tiller for it.

Farmall Cub PTO rotates backwards as well. With some fabricating one could work.

[sshell 8]

I ment a tiller for a CUB could work.

Note to self, dont reply while doing other things :banghead:

[canam1991 2]

i was just wondering if it could be done!!!! so a cub tiller could possibly work?????????

[Jim_M 179]

The pto coupler would be wrong.

[WH Wonder 0]

Cub lo boy runs backwards from normal PTO's.

I was told to get the specific PTO impliments for it.
