RTA Tiller Hitch
Figure 1-2
Driveline Installation
Refer to Figure 1-3, Figure 1-4 and Figure 1-5:
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 power take-off at low engine rpm to
minimize start-up torque.
Drivelines with friction slip
clutches must go through a “run-in” operation prior
to initial use and after long periods of inactivity
. See
“Driveline Protection” on page 21 for detailed
instructions on maintaining the slip clutch.
If Rotary Tiller is used on more than one tractor, an
additional driveline may be required - especially if a quick
hitch is used.
Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 8:
1. Remove gearbox shaft protector (#23) from end of
gearbox shaft.
2. Pull on the pull collar or push on the push pin and
slide slip clutch or shear bolt end of driveline (#1)
over the gearbox input shaft.
3. Release the pull collar or push pin and continue to
push the driveline onto the gearbox shaft until the pull
collar or push pin pops out and locks in place.
4. Push/pull on slip-clutch or shear bolt yoke end of
driveline (#1) to ensure it is securely fastened to the
gearbox input shaft.
5. Continue with “Tractor Hook-Up” on page 10.

IMPORTANT: Drivelines with friction clutches must
go through a “run-in” operation prior to initial use and
after long periods of inactivity.See
“Driveline
Protection” on page 21 for detailed instructions.
IMPORTANT: An additional driveline may be
required if implement will be attached to more than
one tractor.
