1-2 DESCRIPTION
The RTN, RTNR medium duty series of rotary tillers
is designed for use in a wide range of tilling require-
ments. The RTH heavy duty series of rotary tillers is
designed for tougher operating conditions. Each of
the tillers has adjustable skid shoes for setting
desired tilth of the soil. Center gearboxes tranfer
power from the tractor PTO to the end drive system.
The RTN, RTNR series uses a heavy duty chain
drive to the rotor shaft whereas the RTH series uses
a gear train type of end drive system. Slip clutches
protect the tillers from overload damage.
NOTE: The RTNR series of rotary tillers utilizes a
reverse rotation design which turns the rotor/blade
assembly in the opposite direction of forward travel.
