Appendix B: Attachments & Accessories

Troy-Bilt®PTO Log Splitter 290-258-081

The Troy-Bilt®PTO Log Splitter provides you with a convenient and easy means of splitting about a half a cord of wood per hour when working alone. When connected to the PTO Power Unit, the tiller’s engine runs the splitter’s hydraulic pump, providing you with 13 tons of steady, unhurried and predictable splitting force.

As an added benefit, the power-driven mobility provided by the PTO Power Unit allows you to move the splitter to and from your wood pile, over to a neighbor’s place, or along the woodpile to a fresh supply of logs.

Features include a 15 second splitting cycle; can handle log sizes up to 26" long; a two-stage hydraulic pump that auto- matically shifts into low gear to provide four-times greater pressure when needed; slim-cut wedge design for splitting green, stringy wood; and an auto-control valve for automatic return stroke.

Dozer/Snow Blade Attachment 290-259-081

In the winter, moves up to one foot of light snow (or 6"-to-8" of heavy snow); at other times use it to move or spread sand, gravel, loose dirt, grain, sawdust, etc. Attaches easily to the front of the Wrap-Around Bumper Guard. Set the blade to several angles. Weighs 41-lbs.; measures 15" x 32".

Row Marker Attachment 290-257-081

Do you like very straight, even, neat rows in your garden? If so, the Row Marker is a must attachment. Hooks quickly to the Hiller/Furrower attachment– eliminates the need for string, stakes, measuring tape, etc. You’ll like the straight rows it helps you make if you lay out furrows, dig compost trenches, or make raised beds. The Row Marker extends from 28"-to-

493¼4", letting you vary the width between rows to suit the crop you’re planting.

V-Sweep Cultivator 290-260-081

The V-Sweep Cultivator is a specialized tool designed for between-row crop cultivation. Instead of stirring the soil, it slices through just below the surface to eliminate practically any weeds in its path.

The Sweep mounts easily to the optional Tow Hitch Attachment at the rear of the PTO Power Unit. The blade is made

of high carbon, heat treated steel and measures 2" wide (overall wing span is 20").

The unique way the Sweep works, skimming along just underneath the soil’s surface without turning the soil over, makes this the ideal tool for use in dry, dusty conditions where it is important to keep soil disturbance to a minimum. And, because of its 20" wide cutting path, it does an effective cultivation job at a fast speed.

The Sweep’s natural shallow cultiva- tion helps to prevent weed seeds from being brought to the soil’s surface. This shallow cultivation feature also means there’s less chance of damaging the roots of your vegetables. For deeper or more shallow cultivating, the blade depth can be changed with a simple adjustment..

Wheel Weights 290-266-081

Help increase traction by putting extra weight directly on the wheels. They reduce bucking and jumping when deep- tilling in heavy soil. They’re shipped empty– fill them with material like concrete, sand, gravel, etc. They bolt directly to the tiller wheels.

Wrap-Around Bumper Guard 290-255-081

Order this Bumper Guard by itself or receive it as one of the components if you order the combination Dozer/ Snow Blade attachment. Protects the engine from damage by wrapping around and protect- ing many of the engine components. 1" diameter, high-strength steel tubing.

Hiller/Furrower Attachment 290-250-081

The most popular attachment because it does so many jobs. Mounts to the rear of the depth regulator bracket. Furrower blade easily makes plant rows, trenches, ditches to 8" deep. When hiller wings are attached to furrower blade, attach- ment makes hilled rows and raised bed gardens. Converts from a furrower to a hiller and back again, in seconds, without tools.
