Details:
Weight: The TL85 is 310 lbs. Rotary Tillers need to be heavy in order for the tines to penetrate the ground, and reduce bucking.
Working Width: The TL85 has a tilling width of 33″.
Offset: The TL85 has an offset of 12″ to the right of center. The tiller is offset from the center of the PTO so that you don’t end up with compacted tire tracks in you finished bed.
Rotation: The TL85 are forward rotation as the tires of the tractor when traveling forward. This rotation requires less horsepower to operate; allows for a smoother bed of soil behind the tiller, and allows rocks to expel without recycling them through the tiller.
HP Required at the PTO: The TL85 series has a requirement of 12 – 35 hp at the PTO.
Working Depth: Adjustable side runners to 2″ – 6″ deep. Adjustable and replaceable side runners allow for deep tilling.
Total Number of Tines: The TL85 has standard duty 19 oz tines. 16 tines. They are made of hardened tool steel. These tines are precisely spaced to maximize tilling coverage while at the same time reduce jamming caused by rocks and debris.
Blade Type: The TL series has L shaped tines.
Rotor Swing Diameter: The TL series has a 16″ diameter. Large swing diameter allows for deep digging.
Rear Deflector: Keeps dirt in and maintains a level finish. The deflector is shaped and formed for additional strength. Adjustable deflector level allows for various finish results.
Main Gearbox: ASAE 1- 3/8″ – 6 spline shaft, proven cast iron, oil bath gearbox; ratio is 1.69:1.
Chain Drive: Oil bath chain driven side gear drive mechanism; gear ratio is 1.52:1 gear drive is superior to chain drive in every way. The TL Series Standard Rotary tiller has a rated 35 HP continuous use slip clutch comprised of adapter shafts to connect between your PTO shaft and the implement and two spring compressed clutch plates. The idea is, as the name implies, that a clutch, in this case two plates compressed by a series of springs on the casing, transmits power to the implement. When there is an obstruction, the clutch slips and prevents the shock load from being transmitted to the tractor or absorbed completely by the implement.A key point in using a slip clutch is to make sure it is adjusted properly to begin with (ie it does in fact slip and you don’t have the springs set so tightly that it won’t) and also that you periodically loosen the springs to allow the clutch to slip so that the two plates don’t rust together.
Hitch Type: Standard 3-point category 1 hitch.
Parking Stand: Supports the tiller during storage to prevent it from tipping.
Finish: Baked on powder coat, powder coat is superior to paint.
Warranty: 2 year parts warranty with an optional 2 year extension.
