RTA10 Tiller Hitch Offset
Refer to Figure 3-1:
!
CAUTION
Do exceed offsetting the RTA10 Series tiller 7" left or right of
the gearbox input shaft. Exceeding 7" can break the driveline,
tractor PTO and tiller gearbox.
!
CAUTION
After offsetting, check to see that the driveline clears all
shields on the tiller, tractor, and tiller hitch. If not, decrease
offset until clearance is obtained.
Except for RTA1042, the tillers can be shifted a maximum
offset of 7" left or right of the gearbox input shaft by
moving the hitch clevises (#1) 7" to the right or left.
The RTA1042 is built to be offset 26" to the right when the
hitch clevis are set an equal distance away from the
gearbox input shaft. The unit can be shifted a maximum
of 7" to the left by moving the hitch clevis 7" to the right.
For best tillage results, adjust tiller offset to the right by
moving the hitch clevis to the left far enough to cover the
tractor’s right rear wheel tread marks.
1. Loosen hex nuts (#2) until clevises (#1) can be
moved on the front tube.
2. Slide lower hitch clevises (#1) an equal amount left
or right up to 7" while holding the 26 7/8" distance
between clevises.
3. Retighten hex nuts (#2) to the correct torque value.

RTA15 Tiller Hitch Sideshift
Refer to Figure 3-2:
The three point and gearbox can be sideshifted to the left
of tiller center for various working conditions.
!
CAUTION
After sideshifting check to see that the PTO shaft clears all
shields on the tiller, tractor, and the tiller hitch. If not,
decrease sideshift until clearance is obtained.
1. Loosen the two u-bolts (#2) which hold the top
hitch/gearbox frame (#1) to the front tube.
2. Loosen the two bolts (#3) which hold the top
hitch/gearbox frame (#1) to the rear of the tiller.
3. Loosen the two u-bolts (#4) which hold the lower
hitch clevises (#5) to the front tube.
4. Slide the top hitch/gearbox assembly to the desired
location.
5. Re-center the lower hitch clevises with respect to the
gearbox.
Retighten all bolts and nuts referring to the Torque
Values Chart in the “Appendix” section on page 32.
