  If the rotor of your Land Pride Tiller won't turn, there are several possible causes: * The PTO might not be engaged, so engage the PTO. * The drive chain could be broken, requiring repair. * The shearbolt on the driveline may be broken, in which case you should replace it. * The friction clutch might be slipping, so you should reduce the load to the tiller.

Why is the soil texture too coarse after using my Land Pride Tiller?
- A
  Anthony KingAug 31, 2025
  If the soil texture is too coarse when using your Land Pride Tiller, it may be due to the leveling door being too high, so lower the leveling door. Alternatively, the PTO speed may be too slow, so increase the PTO speed, or the ground speed may be too fast, so decrease the ground speed.

Why does my Land Pride Tiller skip or leave crop residue?
- J
  Jeffrey WeissSep 3, 2025
  If your Land Pride Tiller skips or leaves crop residue, it could be due to badly worn tines, which should be replaced. It may also be caused by a slipping friction clutch, so reduce the load. Another possible cause is ground speed being too fast for the conditions, so reduce ground speed.

- J
  Joshua LaneSep 5, 2025
  If the soil texture is too fine after using your Land Pride Tiller, it could be because the leveling door is too low, so raise the leveling door. Another reason might be that the ground speed is too slow, so increase ground speed.

Why are the tines of my Land Pride Tiller balling up with soil?
- B
  bharrisSep 8, 2025
  If the tines of your Land Pride Tiller are balling up with soil, it could be due to worn or bent tines, which should be replaced, or tines that are incorrectly installed, so install the tines correctly. The rear deflector may also be too low, so raise it. Additionally, the tractor speed might be too fast, so decrease it, or the soil might be too wet, so wait until it dries.
