MACHINE COMPONENTS
The Buhler Farm King 45 Series Rotary Tiller consists of a rotating drum that is
equipped with bent blades for breaking up and leveling soil. The blades are turned
through the soil while the machine moves over the working area. A Drag Shield is used
to maintain a level seedbed. Rotational power to the drum is provided by the PTO on
the tractor. The power is transmitted through the gearbox in the center of the machine
to the chain drive down the side. The A-frame can be moved to offset the machine.
