Woods RT72 40 Tiller Assembly And Testing #66 

Very informative video. Just assembling mine now, so glad to find this. 2 points I think should be pointed out, however. The first is on the clutch assembly. I believe that this is basically the same as other slip clutches I have on other implements. No matter whether the clutch is adjusted properly or not, the bolts should be loosened at least for the first use each spring, and the machine should used momentarily just to make sure the clutch plates are able to slip. They get stuck together over time, and that's a potential problem. Secondly, the bearing on the right side is a sealed bearing. Care should be taken so that it isn't over greased. If that happens, the seal is likely damaged. For greasing a sealed bearing, I like to remove the standard grease zerk and install a split zerk just to grease the bearing. Replace the split zerk with the regular supplied zerk afterwards. The split zerk prevents over greasing,

Nice video! Attention to detail with excellent explanations. I have an L6060 ,and this video showed me I can put just about any 3 point behind it. Thank you.

Just did this exact process and same head scratching on the bolts, but had the right ones in the end.

I’ve had a Woods 48” behind a Kubota BX2660 for 12 years, I put more hours on my tiller in one year than most people would in a lifetime. I’ve only had to replace the main tiller bearings once in the twelve years, the tiller is rock solid. The BX has plenty of power for the reverse rotation tiller. I primarily do lawn and garden work.

Those unused holes on top of the gear box on mine was drilled and tapped all the way through. So i ended up plugging them as rain was getting in the gearbox.

I have the woods rt60.4 behind a Kubota b2650. 25 engine hp and right around 20 pto hp. Does a great job and I am impressed with my tiller as well. I did have a few tines loosen up after an hour or so of use so that is one thing that I should have checked after the first use. The dealer assembled mine so all I did was cut the pto shaft. Very happy that I went with the Woods as opposed to something from Tractor Supply or another off brand. I always know I will have parts support long down the road from Woods.

just bought this tiller assembling this week great video thanks for sharing

I have the exact same tiller that I use on my L4701. Very happy with it. I had to replace one tine on it after tilling up a big food plot because the field was full of rocks but other than that it has been an awesome tiller.

I’ve got a tractor supply county line 6ft tiller. Been really pleased with it. I bought it because it was the only one you can swap from forward to reverse tine and it was really well priced. Though after I read the directions on how to change rotation I’ll never do it. My L3540HSTC pulled it just fine. Only 6ft implement the 3540 didn’t have the power for was a 6ft brush hog. I sold that tractor to my brother when I bought the L6060 and he purchased a 5ft cutter for it after running it with my 6ft.

Love my tiller. Landpride 72” behind A 55hp Case tractor. The slower I go the better it does. If I go to fast it will get a little washboardy. Then I have to drag it.

Great shoot under the deck. Never saw one like that. On the China gearboxes you can put on 90 degree filler with a vent cap - makes adding the lube like the other gear box. Nice post. Thanks. Bob in Nevada

Awesome!! That looks like it did a great job.

The engineer that designed the collar pto latch should be made to do that for 8 hours straight to help him on future designs. LOL Engineers and people with business websites obviously do not try to use their products. Nice tiller. Thanks

very informative video... thank you

5 ft.king kutter with international 424 tractor. 32 hp does great

FYI when you greased the side bearing or spindle support bearing you actually filled a recessed area that the bearing occupies. Ask me how I know😁

I have a Woods 48" behind a Yanmar SA324, 24 hp. It's a nice tiller and the tractor has no problem running it. I noticed in the Woods document it says do not engage the PTO until the tines are touching the ground because it can take a sudden jolt from a rock, etc...Any thoughts on this. Thanks for the video.

Remember they are permissibled at store they are sold ready to go. (???????)

How many HP tractor do you need for a 84 inch woods tiller

I’m considering buying this tiller today but putting it behind a 30hp tractor.. dealer says it should handle it but I can’t find a 5ft tiller(preferred) any where in my area
