The Land Pride SC2660 and SC2672 are exceptional tillers designed to enhance agricultural productivity through their advanced features and technologies. These models are tailored for small to medium-sized tractors, making them versatile choices for hobby farmers and professionals alike.

One of the standout characteristics of the SC2660 and SC2672 is their robust construction. Built with high-quality materials, these tillers ensure durability and longevity, allowing them to withstand the rigors of demanding soil conditions. The two models differ primarily in width, with the SC2660 featuring a 60-inch working width, while the SC2672 offers a slightly wider 72-inch option, catering to various land preparation needs.

Both tillers are equipped with heavy-duty tines made from hardened steel, providing excellent soil penetration and thorough tilling action. The tines are designed to break up compacted soil effectively, promoting better aeration and root growth for crops. The adjustable tilling depth feature allows operators to customize the tilling process to meet specific agricultural requirements, ensuring optimal soil health and structure.

The SC2660 and SC2672 incorporate a chain drive system that delivers reliable power from the tractor to the tiller. This efficient drive mechanism reduces wear and enhances the tillers' overall performance, ensuring a smooth operation even under challenging conditions. The adjustable side skids provide further flexibility, allowing users to control the width of the tilling area, which is particularly beneficial for row cropping applications.

Another important aspect of these tillers is their ease of use. The quick-hitch compatibility allows for fast attachment and detachment, saving valuable time in the field. Additionally, the low maintenance requirements and straightforward design mean that operators can focus more on tilling and less on equipment upkeep.
