Introduction

Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new product owners.

This rotary tiller has been designed with care and built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly, maintenance, and safe operating practices will help you get years of satisfactory use from the machine.

Application

The RTR10 and RTR15 Series Reverse-Till Rotary Tillers are designed and built by Land Pride to till soil for seedbed and planting preparation. Both models are adapted for 540rpm PTO, three-point hitch Category 1 mounting and are Quick-Hitch adaptable. The RTR10 has a 17-25 horsepower tractor requirement and the RTR15 has a 17-35 horsepower requirement.

Reverse rotation tillers tend to achieve greater depth penetration resulting in moving and pulverizing more soil. Also, they bury more of the residue in the soil. These Land Pride Tillers have uses and applications in landscaping, nurseries, gardens, and light commercial use. See “Features and Benefits”, “Section 6” for additional information.
