Operating Instructions

Before using your Land Pride RTA20 Series Rotary Tiller, you should have completely read the Operator’s Manual, properly attached the Tiller to the tractor, cut the Drive-line to proper length, Run-in the clutch, and gone through the Operating Checklist. If you have missed any of these steps, please complete them before proceeding.

Now that you have properly prepared yourself and your tiller, it’s time to do some tilling. Carefully drive the tractor to the site where you intend to till. You should have already cleaned this site of any large limbs, rocks, trash, metal or extraneous debris. Best results will be achieved if you have mounted your tiller offset to the left far enough to cover the tread of your left tractor wheel. Line the tractor up just to the right of center on your tillage plot. You will be working from the center out and always turning to the left to line up for your next pass. Lower the tiller half way to the ground and reduce your tractor engine speed to about one quarter throttle. Engage the PTO and gradually increase the engine speed until you reach full PTO speed of 540 rpm. Lower the Tiller to the ground and simultaneously commence forward travel of approximately 2 mph. Do not make turns or attempt to back up while tiller is in the ground. See important note below.

IMPORTANT: Turning or backing up with rotary tines in the ground will damage the tiller.

Travel about 50ft. and then stop to check your results. When stopping, remember to lift the tiller out of the ground, stop the tractor, reduce engine speed, disengage the PTO, set the park brake, shut off the tractor, and remove the keys. If you are tilling too shallow or too deep, adjust the skid shoes accordingly. If the soil texture is too coarse, lower the leveling door and reduce your ground speed. If the soil texture is too fine, you will need to raise your leveling door and increase your ground speed. For any other problem conditions that may arise, you will want to refer to the Troubleshooting section of this Operator’s Manual.

When you are done tilling for the day, make sure you use proper tractor shut down procedures before you get off of the tractor. If you are detaching your tiller, make sure you park it on a dry and level surface leaving it clean and ready for the next use. When you put your tiller up for the season, make sure you refer to the Storage Directions in this Operator’s Manual.

With a little practice and a few adjustments, you will soon be achieving the results you want with your Land Pride Rotary Tiller. See “Features and Benefits” page 21 or “Specifications and Capacities” page 20 for additional information and performance enhancing options.
