Weight: The Farmer-Helper IGN series is 605 lbs to 776 lbs depending on size of the unit. Rotary Tillers need to be heavy in order for the tines to penetrate the ground, and reduce bucking.

Working Width: The Farmer-Helper IGN series has a tilling width of 41″ to 71″ depending on the size of the unit.

Overall Width: The Farmer-Helper IGN series has an overall width of 50 1/2″ to 80 1/2″ depending on the size of the unit.

Distance right of Center Mount: The Farmer-Helper IGN series has a distance of 24″ – 42.5″ to the right of center, depending on the size of the unit. 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 Farmer-Helper IGN series 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 Farmer-Helper IGN series has a requirement of 18 – 75 hp at the PTO, depending on the size of the unit.

Working Depth: Adjustable side runners to 2″ – 8″ deep. Adjustable and replaceable side runners allow for deep tilling.

Total Number of Tines: The Farmer-Helper IGN series has heavy duty 28 oz tines. 24 to 42 tines, depending on the size of the unit. 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 Farmer-Helper IGN series has L shaped tines.

Rotor Diameter: 3″ diameter 5/16″ wall tube. Large tube diameter adds strength and rigidity.

Rotor Swing Diameter: The Farmer-Helper IGN series has a 18″ diameter. Large swing diameter allows for deep digging.

Rotor Shaft Speed: 540 RPM PTO input speed = 210 RPM rotor shaft speed. The rotor speed is matched with the number of tines to reach the ideal torque required to tear through the earth.

Deck Material: The Farmer-Helper IGN series has a 1/4″ thick steel housing.

Rear Deflector: Keeps dirt in and maintains a level finish. The deflector is shaped and formed for additional strength. An 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.

Gear Drive: Oil bath gear driven side gear drive mechanism; gear ratio is 1.52:1 gear drive is superior to chain drive in every way. The IGN Series Standard Rotary tiller has a rated 65 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.
