The rear (tine section) of your PTO Horse
Model Tiller can be removed in minutes, leaving
the Power Unit free to pull a cart or other drag-
behind implement with the aid of the Tow Hitch.
This is a standard tow hitch design which can
be used for attachments including the TROY-
BILT Sweep Cultivator. You may also use it with
other attachments you already own, such as a
lawn roller, four-wheel shredder, or a drag-mat.
However, before using such equipment with
your new Tow Hitch, refer to the operating
instructions and safety rules provided with the
attachment being used.
When you attach a piece of equipment like a
dump cart, which requires pivoting action for
turning, you must put one pin through the center
holes of the Tow Hitch. When you hook-up a
piece of equipment that has no pivoting action,
such as the Sweep Cultivator, you must put two
pins through the outer holes of the Tow Hitch.
Before installing the Tow Hitch, you must
remove the tines (or any other attachment) from
the back of your tiller.
The Tow Hitch Attachments includes the
following components:
