The Farmer-Helper TL Series Rotary Tiller is a versatile and efficient machine designed to satisfy various seedbed preparation needs, best suited for small to medium-duty residence use, hobby farms, gardens, small nurseries, and home owner landscaping projects.

Adaptable to 12 to 35-horsepower tractors, the tiller features a Cat I 3-point 6-spline slip clutch driveline and an oil bath transmission, meaning it will not wear out without being serviced. The adjustable tilling depth will enable you to adapt seedbed preparation to your requirements, and the right-hand offset design covers over the tire track, offering an even, tidy finish.

One of the most prominent features of the TL Series Rotary Tiller is its heat-resistant, dust-proof, debris-proof, and moisture-resistant chain tightener assembly. This reduces maintenance and the lifespan of the chain and sprockets. Its double-walled 1/4-inch sides and 14-inch blade swing provide additional durability and performance to enable the tiller to cut through various soils and conditions.

In short, the Farmer-Helper TL Series Rotary Tiller is an excellent choice for those searching for a durable and multi-faceted device for seedbed preparation in a wide range of residential and small-scale agricultural applications. Its simple operation and minimal maintenance requirements ensure it is well worth adding to any gardening or landscaping equipment roster.

Weight: The Farmer-Helper TL series is 310 lbs to 430 lbs depending on the 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 TL series has a tilling width of 33″ to 53″ depending on the size of the unit.

Offset: The Farmer-Helper TL series has an offset of 12″ to 18″ 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 TL 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 TL series has a requirement of 12 – 40 hp at the PTO, depending on the size of the unit.

Working Depth: Adjustable side runners to 3″ – 4″ deep. Adjustable and replaceable side runners allow for deep tilling.

Total Number of Tines: The Farmer-Helper TL series has standard duty 19 oz tines. 16 to 28 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 TL series has L shaped tines.

Rotor Swing Diameter: The Farmer-Helper 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. 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: 90-day parts warranty with an optional up to 1 year extension.
