IMPLEMENTS
ROTARY TILLER
The rotary tiller is used to break the superficial layer of the ground so that its permeability is increased and
at the same time, to get rid of weeds (fig. 11). This model has been developed to work on particularly hard
soils, where a traditional walking tractor would till with difficulties. The tines turn in the opposite direction as
the driving wheels do. Thanks to this counter-rotation the machine clings to the ground and tills the soil
more aggressively. For better tillage results pay attention to the weight you put onto the handle to make
the machine advance evenly. Tilling depth can be adjusted by lifting or lowering the central skid (fig. 10,
pos. A). To increase the tilling depth remove the central skid (fig. 10, pos. A).
CAUTION! To protect the machine transmission, the rotary tiller is fitted with two safety screws, in case a
stone or any other foreign object suddenly block the tiller rotation. Should this happen and the rotary tiller
remains locked, it is necessary to replace the safety screws. It is recommended to have two safety screws
in stock (part no. 146374 – fig. 12). IMPORTANT: check that the tines have been properly mounted (fig.
11). Check the oil level every 20 hours on the housing cover (fig. 11, ref. A) and add 85W90 oil if
necessary.
BACK-CUTTER FURROWER
This tool is mounted at the rear of the tiller and works together with it. The furrower is designed to produce
irrigation and seed drills (fig. 13).
