DESCRIPTION
The Till-Rite T40 Series Rotary Tillers are engineered for efficient, precise, and reliable soil preparation. With their manual side-shift capability and durable construction, they offer farmers unmatched control and flexibility. Whether you’re preparing fields or managing smaller plots, the T40 Series ensures smooth and thorough tillage, making it ideal for farmers, landscapers, and custom operators.
Equipped with a robust 540 RPM gearbox, adjustable side skids, and a heavy-duty shielded PTO shaft, these rotary tillers maximize tilling performance while minimizing operator effort. The lateral chain drive in oil bath transmission ensures smooth operation and reduced wear over time. Models are available with ASAE cat. 3 shear bolt or slip clutch drivelines to suit your specific needs.
The high carbon steel blades, arranged in flanges, allow for deep tilling, while the adjustable side skids let you control the working depth. For enhanced versatility, the exchangeable sprockets offer two working speeds, enabling faster or slower tillage depending on soil condition.
