Cat 0 3pt tiller info
 

Duke and several other members ask me to post info on the tiller my dad uses on his diesel. It is an aftermarket brand.
The brand is BEFCO G42 2000 rpm cat 0 3pt tiller. Unfortunately I don't have much other info trying to find an owners now. It appears that it can be used as cat 0 or cat 1 by flipping the arms over. It works very well and tills nicely.BEFCO is still in business and I visited their website but couldnt find the G42. Here are the pictures.

That looks like it works awesome that is a sweet setup

Thanks for the info and pics!!!! Nice tiller!!!

Looking at the T30 page, they do show a 2,000 rpm opton at the bottom of the text. But they all look to be cat.2 ... Looks like a phone call will be in order!

Last night, I spoke with the original owner my father purchased the 1772 from, (he worked for a Cub dealer at the time). He did have a tiller with it when he had the tractor, but sold it years ago.

He still repairs Cubs and is currently looking for a belt driven tiller. He knows of some "stuff" aound and is also going to do some checking to see if he can find one for us.

I did find a tiller that has been setting in a barn for over 10 years. This guy bought the Cub and the tiller came with the deal. He is not sure of the drive... (Probably a belt?). I hope to go look at it this weekend.


Thanks again for the info!

That's a well built tiller, right there!

And impressive as well!

I'm putting my request in for action pics and video PLEASE!

I think Befco built the Cat 0 tillers for IH and CCC back in the day. but I could be wrong.

I just looked up the cat 0 pto driven tillers on Partstree and the part numbers all start with "BF" so I think I'm right on them building the tillers for them.

After rereading the ID tag they are made in Rocky Mount, NC:beerchug:

I spoke with a gal from Befco yesterday and it sounds like they did make the tillers for Cubs. They still offer a 2,000 rpm option in one of their series, but no cat 0 ... I think she said cat 1.

soooo, looks like back to the "drawing board" . (and Craigslist, ebay, etc.)

Btw, dsmith... nice tiller!!!!!

I think dads will work with cat 1 or cat 0 just by turning the front arms over. You can tell I've you look at the pictures. The new one maybe the same way.
