Figure 8. Tiller Depth Adjustment
NOTE: Tillage depth is dependent on ground hardness,
tractor speed, skid shoe setting, and tractor hitch ad-
justment. Multiple passes may be necessary to achieve
tillage depth.
TILLER OFFSET
The RT tillers come with a xed gearbox offset, so that
the tiller can cover a tractor tire width larger than its
width. The offset is to the right as sitting in the tractor
seat. By tilling in a clockwise rotation, tire tracks can be
reduced or eliminated. Below is a chart which outlines
the tractor width that can be paired with a tiller.
