Gear drive transmission
The hardened and tempered gear drive transmission requires less maintenance than a roller chain drive. Enclosed in an oil bath, gear drive components feature higher wear life, decreasing maintenance costs.


Reverse tines rotation
Reverse tilling easily breaks up compacted and rocky soils as well as sod and hard clay. Reverse tines rotation keep the tiller in the ground and prevent the implement from walking on top of the hard soil.
Transmission coverThe sealed cover ensures the protection of the transmission components, preventing transmission damage due to moisture and mud.
C-shaped tines increase efficiencyThe hardened and tempered C-shaped rotor tines require less horsepower to operate. They are designed to engage the soil at different times for more efficiency.
Easy adjust skid shoe height


Easily set the working depth by adjusting the height of the skids with the adjustment bracket.
Hitch attachment is easy and fastImplement-to-tractor hookup is simple with the iMatch Quick-Hitch Category 1 compatible.
