Hi Aaron, being you’ve watched so many of my videos and have pointed out that some are kind of old.

Do you think people would watch, or think that I was trying to pull a fast one?
@@billburkhart I think they would watch! Your content and projects are so interested, there would be an audience for it. Try a couple for trial run and see! I'm in!
Hi Tim- Thank you, I clean everything after each use and then coat it with a product called Fluid Film, I use it on everything metal. It's about $10 a can at most hardware stores or Farm & Fleet type stores. I love the stuff. Thanks for your comments.
It's been a long time since my RTR0550 tiller was as clean as that one, LOL. I've had that exact model for almost 9 years, and it's great. I had a forward till Land Pride before that (different tractor) and I can't say enough good about the brand, Land Pride makes a tough piece of equipment. I've also owned one of their 3-point finish mowers. I'd add a couple of comments to this very good video about using this tiller. He mentioned that he could have raised the rear shield; You can do that and use this tiller in reverse (backing the tractor) and it works like a forward till, although you get tire marks and compact the ground you just tilled. It still allows you to go back and forth to break up harder ground with fewer passes. The other thing I didn't see is what type of driveline protection is being used. The PTO driveshaft should have either a shear pin or slip clutch in case the tiller gets jammed with a large rock or debris that the tines can't cut. I recommend a slip clutch, one fits very nicely inside the hood over the tiller's gearbox cover. A shear pin requires you to stop every time you break one, in rocky soil that can be fairly often. The slip clutch will just allow the tines to stop when a rock gets jammed, you then turn off the PTO and clear the jam. Reverse tilling cuts deeper and faster than forward rotation, and it "herds" rocks and debris to the end of the row, instead of kicking it out the back so you have to deal with it again next pass. Sometimes, a large enough rock being thrown forward will jam between tines and tiller housing, but it usually clears easily, and moving all these rocks to the end of the row eventually cleans out your garden area. I also love this guy's tractor. I'm planning to buy a 1025R and was eager to watch this video. I have the X748, which is smaller, but handles this tiller very well.
Happy Sunday X 748, The tiller in this video has a slip clutch and I did not remember you can till while backing up, thanks for sharing that information. Enjoyed reading your opinion on Land Pride, I couldn't agree more. Enjoy the fall weather.
Good morning, Aaron. I am heading home today. If everything goes to plan, I'll have a new video out by the end of June. I hope all is well with you; I saw strong, severe storms through your area last week. Hope it missed your area. -Bill

Brian Brubaker 05/18/2021 I own a John Deere 1023E. Very happy with it, have had it two plus years. The front loader works fine. The rotary tiller, a model 647 rotary, all of a sudden did not work. Could not raise it up off the ground. I removed it from the tractor so that I could get some work done using the front loader. Was fiddling with the tiller hydraulic control and all of a sudden I was able to raise the arms up, but not back down. At this point just wondering what some of the causes might be.
One thing I have read in the manuals I got with both my tractor and tiller (among other attachments) is the warning to disengage the PTO to the rear before driving around with the 3 point in the raised position especially at high RPM.
Have to also remember that U joints like are used in PTO shaft arent very angle tolerant. They're usually supposed to be mostly straight. Flails and tillers have such short little shafts that they're not very good at angled operation
@@billburkhart of course you did. God has a real sense of humor. I have finally found a channel and friend I can enjoy he puts in halt to flood you with rain.... Lol
tillers arnt just good for gardens. i use mine a lot for dirt moving, especially in my drainage ditch . i will till a section and then come through with the loader and scoop it out. i find it to be quicker and easier
And the way he time lapsed I didnt notice he got them up till the end of the first pass. Ever get stuck with your reverse tine tiller going hard stuff?
Hello Kent, This tiller will break up compacted ground very well. There is a new metal building that can be seen in the video, that entire lawn in front of that building was dead and compacted from excavators and concrete trucks. I used this tiller to break the ground up so it could be seeded. I started off shallow and made a few passes and the results to the lawn speak for themselves. I just bought a larger tiller and I stayed with Land Pride, an excellent piece of equipment.
Can you change the direction of the tines? When I use my walk behind rear tine tiller, Illegal get hills at the end of the row from the dirt build up from it going in reverse. The best solution is when I put the tines in forward.
No, the tiller won't run backwards, due to the transmission's PTO design. You can till with the tractor moving backwards, which allows the tiller to work like a forward rotation tiller does, but then your tracks run over where you just tilled.
You obviously are a man who takes great pride in his equipment. Good job on the cleanup! Question I have is, what oil were you spraying on the attachment after you cleaned it up? Tim
Hello Mark, thanks for taking time to comment. The forks in this video or Frontier 42" forks. My video #88 has more information on these forks. Have a great weekend.- Bill
Still trying to figure out the difference between the AP12 and AP13, and what the various letter suffixes mean. Online brochures show Error 404 on several sites..
Happy Sunday, the tractor and tiller was between $14,500 and $15,000, that price doesn't include the forks. I consider the tiller a must have for my needs.
Hi Lyman, happens fast doesn't it. Now if I do tilling in a friends garden, I run a metal detector over the garden first after finding a metal T Post buried deep enough I would have surely struck it. Stay safe and healthy.
I believe he is referring to not raising your tiller up all the way, just lift it enough to clear the ground. Lifting it all the way up when it's running causes the u-joints to swivel a lot more than necessary. Now for my comments. I see you forgot to raise the parking stand on your tiller after it was mounted on the tractor. I've done that and bent the dang thing making a lot of work to get it off. Also, you pointed out that you checked the lubrication but, and I'm betting you have a clutch on your driveshaft and not shear pins because it's a Landpride, you need to service the clutch at least at the beginning of the season. Snapping the shaft in your tractors gearbox is expensive as all get out.
Your tiller manual shows how to service the clutch. You need to do it because the moving parts have a tendency to rust in place rendering it useless. Essentially, you need to loosen the bolts holding the pressure plate and run your tractor PTO with the tiller buried in the dirt so it will burn any rust off and smooth the pressure plate. A little difficult the first time and pretty easy afterward.

A coating of oil? Why? 🤷♂️ That’s so ridiculous! My John Deere tiller is a 1985 model and I’ve never done that. It’s spent it’s entire life outside and it’s not rusty. I guess some people hear something stupid from somebody and they believe it’s a good idea before they think it out. Some people!!!
