- Hooking up the new Wolverine 7' tiller to the Kubota MX6000. Also cutting the PTO shaft shorter to fit.
Did you know that you can order a rototiller on Amazon? Friggin crazy man! Check out theses links.

well done, very informative
Thank you so much!
Good video, I just bought a new Sigma 4’ tiller to go in my BX25
and had no idea how I was going to shorten the driveshaft if needed. I’ve ordered my 3 point hitch kit and I bought a quick hitch from Harbor Freight 🤞fingers crossed, hope mine goes well
Awesome! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thanks for making the video!
Tip for you: you’re going to get older and using your hands to beat stuff together is going to hurt, a lot in the future when arthritis comes upon you…. Use a hammer 😊
You are definitely right! Thanks for watching and next time I'll Hava a hammer lol.
Very good but I would have liked to see the slip clutch work.
I’m #5 on your thumbs up 🎉🎉
Get to #1 lol! Thank you so much for watching!
Why did you cut two inches from both pieces? Wouldn’t that result is reduction of 4 inches instead of two?
If you cut the outer sleeve two inches and not the inner, the shaft will still only collapse to the original length but the outer sleeve is two inches shorter (inner is still original length so cannot collapse by two more inches). Vise versa, it's the same. Both tubes must be cut by 2 inches to be 2 inches shorter. This was probably not the best way to explain, but this is how my brain works I guess.
@@schmitty750 ahhh it finally clicked in my head. Thanks for explaining!
@@Failedmusician you got it!
I have a tiller it’s disconnecting at the implement end of the pto shaft. I saw you trying to connect a pin in your video at the implement end. Is that a shear pin? I’m pretty new to tractors.
I have to mess with it again today. With my bad back I try to mess with it but my day is very short after i fight the pto once or twice my day is pretty done and have to recover before my next attempt. Thx
No sir not a shear pin. In the video you can see a larger diameter round part with springs on it on the pto shaft. This is a slipper clutch wich takes the place of a shear pin. If the implement gets in a bind, the slipper clutch will slip instead of breaking a shear pin. The pin I was installing on the implement side goes through the recess in the splines of the implement shaft preventing it from coming off of the implement. Same as the locking pin that goes on the tractor pto shaft. Check to make sure you have a pin or bolt on your implement side. That will make the drive shaft scope in and out instead of coming off of the implement.
Have you had the chance to use this tiller? I have this brand bush hog and it’s been great wondering how the tiller performs this company is local to me.
I have used the tiller quite a bit. It does really well on damp or dry soil. Doesn't seem to make much difference. If tilling in tall vegetation it gets wrapped up in the tiller. It doesn't effect the performance of the tiller but is not fun to clean out tall grass and weeds wrapped around the tiller. So best to mow tall stuff first. I used it to till a riding arena, my trails to smooth them out and tilled about 6 acres so a client could plant wild flowers. I'm extremely happy with it.
I'm curious. I ran across the Wolverine tiller when I was searching for one to buy and had a couple questions for you. Do you have a video that actually shows it tilling up ground? Basically, I'm looking for it being used from start to finish. And what company did you buy yours from? Thanks for your help.
Also, how long have you had the tiller? How's it been working for you?
I don't have a video of the tiller in use. I need to do that though so thanks for the idea! I do have some before and after pics on my business FB page JEG Land Services, LLC. I bought it from a local guy that sells Wolverine products. Just make sure whatever vegetation is in the area is cut as short as you can get it. That will save you a lot of time cleaning the tiller.
What am I missing here. Why don’t you just adjust the lift arms out to fit?
The shaft was way too long for that.
