Shearbolt Protection

Avoid shear bolt breakage by making sure the tiller is out of the ground before engaging PTO and by engaging PTO slowly at low engine rpm. Increase engine speed to 540 RPM only after tines are rotating.

IMPORTANT: Replace damaged shear bolts with original Land Pride equipment from your Land Pride Dealer.
