Application
The RTA20 & RTR20 Series Rotary Tillers are just right
for home gardening, landscape work, vegetable farming
or food plot maintenance. Available in three widths, the
20 Series Rotary Tiller turns up hard packed ground,
leaving a perfect seedbed for gardens to grass. Land
Pride’s RTA20 forward rotating tiller can work in all types
of ground conditions, with best results being obtained in
fairly mellow conditions. The RTR20 Series Rotary
Tillers feature a reverse tilling action for tougher ground
conditions. The reverse action “sucks” the tiller into the
ground, which prohibits the tiller from “walking” on hard
ground. The RTR20 Series Tiller also incorporates
spring loaded “sifting” rods behind the tines to help bury
large rocks and debris. The reverse action of the rotor
brings material up and over the top. Rocks and
vegetation cannot get through the sifting rods so they fall
first. Soil continues to get sifted before it falls, building a
layer of large to small dirt clods burying the rocks and
vegetation. Reverse tillingcan reduce the number oftrips
needed to turn the soil over. See “Features and
Benefits”, “Section 6” for additional information.
