Default Front tine tiller behind a Cub?
.


I'm thinking about trying an old front tine tiller on the 3 point hitch behind my 1541. I have all the metal laying around to try it. Has anybody done this this before? Did it work? I would remove the handles and set the tines to always turn if the engine is running.

Here's a video of what I'm wanting to try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdjs...ature=youtu.be

I assume you can reverse the tine rotation? Otherwise wouldn't it just pile the dirt up in front of it?

I like to consider it to be "low budget" and using what I have, but yes you are correct, it's certainly redneck lol.

I was hoping to duplicate the self propelled, rear tine, counter rotation tiller concept

I use a front tine tiller, till forward rotation going down, reverse rotation coming back, as I back up the machine.



I can till the whole garden, and never have to turn around,, sure saves on "effort".

No, the dirt does not pile up,,,, but, the cultivator sure "churns" the dirt.

You have to be careful, when doing reverse rotation, the cultivator wants to head to China!!

This is my point (if I'm understanding correctly), the tines are turning in the same direction of travel when you go forward then back. If he mounts the tiller backwards and drives forward it just seems like it will pile a bunch of dirt up in front of it under the tractor. After watching the video, I still don't know how much is piled up, but it does "churn" (throw) it all over the place!

Default Switch side of tines
Maybe you could unhook the tines and put them back on the opposite side they came off of?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
