yardmax husqvarna southland powermate troybilt cub cadet hiller furrower

I took a chance and purchased one of these for the yardmax tiller even though it wasn't listed as fitting but it works just fine, with a slight adjustment (and to be honest, it might work fine without that adjustment because my tiller is kind of deformed where the shaft lip comes out of the bottom of the tiller. Without that deformed part, it would probably work.) Either way, this hiller furrower fits many common tiller brands. Since almost all tillers use 1 of 3 different rear attachment methods, and the hiller furrower comes with all 3 types, this hiller furrower should be a universal fit for most tillers on the market old or new. The brands they list as fitting are "earthquake, Husqvarna, Southland, Powermate, Troy-Bilt and Cub Cadet rear tine tillers.
A hiller furrower does just what it says it does. It attaches to the back of a rear tine tiller and either digs a furrow/trench or mounds up and creates a hill, aka hiller and can also be used to shape raised rows - like a raised bed garden without the sides. A furrow can also be used as a form of irrigation. Hills can be used as a way to build up an area of garden that may not have good drainage. A hiller furrower saves a lot of time vs hand digging or mounding since its using the power of the tiller to do all the work. They are commonly used when planting potatoes, hilling corn. Carrots, sweet potatoes, peppers, melons (watermelon, pumpkin, cantelope, muskmelon, etc), squash, tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, beans, lettuce, spinach and onions can all grow well in mounds especially if you have heavy clay soil or other compaction issues that would keep deep rooted plants from growing well,
You can get this hiller furrower from amazon and I would check the different links because they can vary as much as $20 in price, almost all have free shipping:

@@dlc9345 thanks, my chemo brain sometimes still gets words mixed up, i say 1 thing but mean something else. It drives me crazy that it still happens 3 years after chemo and radiation ended.

I'm looking for a hiller for a toro rear tine tiller. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

[@sharpridgehomestead]

which model do you have? If I know the model I can try to find pictures to see if this one will work, its pretty much universal for most models because it has numerous ways to attach it ... but don't hold me to that until I find pictures of what you have.

[@sharpridgehomestead]

also, outside of my previous comment, if you look at this instruction manual on pages 2, 3, 4 it shows the different ways it hooks up. It might work just like mine did but that depends on how thick the depth bar is. Here is the manual www.manualslib.com/manual/1910170/Earthquake-15683.html#manual

@@sharpridgehomestead My Toro is model no. 58603. I do appreciate all the help. I thought the earthquake model hiller might work. Might have to make some modifications or an adapter. Thanks again.

@@dlc9345 i believe that it will work, it looks just like my setup where you will remove the depth stand thing and it fits into the slot it occupied. Heck, i found out my tiller works better without that silly depth guage so i just left it off even with the hiller removed. Easier to control and goes just a tad bit deeper now.

I may just buy one and give it a try. Thanks for your help.
