Driveline Installation
Implement End
The tiller driveline is coupled to the tractor and implement
shafts with either push pin couplers, pull collar couplers
or a combination of both and with either a shear bolt or
slip clutch on one end for protection from shock loads.
Always engage the PTO at low engine rpm to minimize
start-up torque on the driveline. Drivelines with friction
clutches must go through a “run-in” operation prior
to initial use and after long periods of inactivity. See
a detailed description of maintaining the driveline.

IMPORTANT: Always check driveline maximum and
minimum length during initial setup, when connecting
to a different tractor and when alternating between
using a quick hitch and a standard 3-point hitch. More
than one driveline may be required to fit all
applications.
Implement End
IMPORTANT: It is necessary to aligning the tractor’s
PTO shaft level with tiller’s PTO shaft when checking
to see if the driveline’s minimum length is correct.

22. Tilling should not be done in wet conditions as soil will
stick to tines.
IMPORTANT: Always disengage the driveline before
raising the tiller to transport position.
23. After tilling the first 50 feet, stop and check to see that
the tiller is adjusted properly.
1. When raising the tiller to the transport position, be
sure that the driveline does not contact tractor or tiller.
Adjust the tractor’s 3-point hitch lift height so that the
tiller tines are not lifted more than 14 inches off the
ground to prevent damage to the driveline.
24. Do not make sharp turns or attempt to back up while

Lower the tiller half way to the ground and reduce your
Parking
tractor engine speed to about one quarter throttle.
Engage the PTO and gradually increase the engine
speed until you reach full PTO speed of 540 rpm. Lower
the Tiller to the ground and simultaneously commence
forward travel of approximately 2 mph.
The following steps should be done when preparing to store
the tiller or unhitch it from the tractor. See also Storage in the
additional information on long term storage of your tiller.
1. Park the tiller on a level, solid area.
Travel about 50 ft. and then stop to check your results.
When stopping, remember to lift the tiller out of the
ground, stop the tractor, reduce engine speed,
disengage the PTO, set the park brake, shut off the
tractor, and remove the keys. If you are tilling too shallow
or too deep, adjust the skid shoes accordingly. If the soil
texture is too coarse, lower the leveling door and reduce
your ground speed. If the soil texture is too fine, you will
need to raise your leveling door and increase your
ground speed. For any other problem conditions that may
arise, you will want to refer to the Troubleshooting section
on page 26.
2. Shut off tractor engine and engage parking brake.
3. Set parking stand to desired height to maintain tiller in
proper height for re-hook-up and install pin to lock in
place.

Operating Instructions
Before using your Land Pride RTA10 or RTA15 Series
Rotary Tiller, you should have completely read the
Operator’s Manual, properly attached the Tiller to the
tractor, cut the driveline to proper length, Run-in the
clutch, and gone through the Operating Checklist. If you
have missed any of these steps, please complete them
before proceeding.
When you are done tilling for the day, make sure you use
proper tractor shut down procedures before you get off of
the tractor. If you are detaching your tiller, make sure you
park it on a dry and level surface leaving it clean and
ready for the next use. When you put your tiller up for the
season, make sure you refer to the Storage Directions on
Now that you have properly prepared yourself and your
tiller, it’s time to do some tilling. Carefully drive the tractor
to the site where you intend to till. You should have
already cleaned this site of any large limbs, rocks,
trash, metal or other debris. Best results will be
achieved if you have mounted your tiller offset to the right
far enough to cover the tread of your right tractor wheel.
Line the tractor up just to the right of center on your tillage
plot. You will be working from the center out and always
turning to the right to line up for your next pass.
With a little practice and a few adjustments, you will soon
be achieving the results you want with your Land Pride
Rotary Tiller. See “Features and Benefits” Section 6 or
“Specifications and Capacities” Section 5 for
additional information and performance enhancing
options.

Maintenance
Driveline Protection
Tiller drive components are protected from shock loads
by either a two plate friction clutch or a shear bolt. Avoid
shear bolt failure by engaging the PTO slowly at low
engine rpm. See your Land Pride Dealer when replacing
shear bolts. Torque shear bolt nuts to 7-9 ft. lbs.
!
CAUTION
For safety reasons, each maintenance operation must be
performed with the tractor’s PTO disengaged, the Tiller
lowered completely to the ground or on safely supported
blocking, tractor engine shut off and ignition key removed.
Shear Bolt and Lock Nut Part Numbers
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life
of any farm implement. With careful and systematic
inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and
repair.

Friction clutches should be “run-in” prior to initial
operation and after long periods of inactivity. You may
have one of two types of friction clutches. Refer to Figure
4-2 and Figure 4-3 page 18 to determine which friction
clutch your Rotary Tiller has. Follow “Clutch Run-In”
instructions for your particular tiller.
Tine Replacement
Refer to Figure 4-1:
To prevent driveline and gearbox damage, repeat
“Run-In” instructions at the beginning of each season
and when moisture and/or condensation seizes the inner
friction plates.
