Review of county line 60 inch tiller 

Best review I've seen in a long time. You saved me a ton of time and headaches.

The capture bolt for the PTO shaft is a pita to work with once you get that big plastic shiels installed. Getting a ratchet and socket and a boxed end wrench in there is a battle.

I can just fill he’s a man of truth, thanks 🙏

Thank you so much, I set my tiller up and was ready to till my garden when I had that oh no moment, now I have to get Sawzall blades ugh another step again thank you

Thanks for your video I'm fixing to get one from my little tc30 New Holland thanks for the info

Great video Thank you for sharing

Thank you!! Great information!

BTW, thanks for letting us know.

Good to the point review. Thanks.

It looks good I want one

ALSO: if you are operating it in your garden space and your tractor has a low axle like my little Mahindra. Put it in 3rd or 2nd gear in low axle and take your time. Your garden dirt will look like new every time you use it.

I have a 1995 ford 5030 with a claimed 65 HP at the PTO. Will this Tiller operate using 65HP? Thanks for any answers.. btw, i do know the recommend range but I want to know if going over it is a problem

Yeah I have a Ford 3000 diesel tractor me and my Boss had to cut mine off but now it's ready to go

How did you get the PTO on the tiller? Was a real pain to do. The plastic protection hood is nothing but in the way. The window is not big enough to work a ratchet to get it bolted on.

What do you do with the lightweight chain that holds up the PTO?

What is the PTO Horse Power of your tractor? That part of the recommendations at Tractor Supply has been contradictory. I want to purchase the 5', the same one you have but my tractor, a Kubota L3200 series puts out just over 25 PTO Horsepower. Not sure if I will be cutting it to close since they recommend 25-50 Horse.

#Thankyoufortheinfo sounds complicated.

Just ordered one today. What a pain in the rear to have to cut the pto arm

If you need 3” off the PTO, wouldn’t you need to take 3” off BOTH ends of the shaft? In this case, cutting off 1.5” from each half of the shaft nets you a grand total of 1.5” in total length removed.

God Bless and Go Dawgs

Don't blame Country Line for the PTO being too long people,,, but their instructions should be clear. They have no idea what tractor it will be on so they make sure it's long enough. Put the tiller onto the tractor. Pull the PTO shaft apart and take both plastic shields off. Attach one end to the tiller, the other end to the tractor with tractor off. Hold them side by side and see if one will slide into the other an additional 3 inches. Mark both ends with a black marker. Take equal amounts off both ends. Before cutting make sure tiller in fully raised and lowered position that shafts are not about to pull apart or bottom out pushing and damaging the tractor PTO shaft. Either situation is terrible. If all looks good then cut with with cutoff saw. If cut the right length you should be able connect PTO to tractor after attaching tiller. One end should slide well into the other but not bottom out damaging tractor PTO regardless of tiller position. Once you have the right length then cut plastic shields equal amounts and reinstall. Do NOT run without plastic shields. Clothes, long hair, rope can wrap up in a shaft and kill you for sure. You can use a hole saw or spade drill to drill 2 holes, 180* apart in the big plastic shield to install bolt and tighten nut with 2 sockets the easy way. Many MFG's have the holes there for the bolt or to grease the U joint. Great video. Thanks.
