EARTHQUAKE15683 Hiller-Furrower Kit for Earthquake Rear Tine Rototillers

Everything about this implement seems well made , and functional. I have a Champion rear tine tiller. You just have to use the adapter plates or drill the rear stand plate to bolt or pin the implement in place.

I ordered this not certain if it came with the adapters or not. When it arrived I was relieved to see that the adapters were in the box. When I went out to install this on my old Troy-Bilt Horse PTO tiller I looked at the Troy-Bilt adapter and said, "No Way Will That Work." Upon further examination I found that this fit my tiller without using an adapter. It fits perfectly with a single bolt using a hole that was already there. The only thing that I would criticize is that the bolt for affixing to the tiller is a little short. For me that was not really a problem as I used a Universal Clevis Pin with washers and a spring to keep it from moving about.My garden had already been loosened up by a couple of passes with the tiller. I was able to make furrows quickly and much easier than if done by hand. The only problem I had was keeping my furrow straight. I think that might be partly due to the tiller wanting to follow non-parallel tracks from previous tilling. I had the wings attached and they were as close to parallel with the ground as possible. My old tiller was just barely able to pull the extra load of the dirt the wings moved.Overall I would recommend this to anyone who wants to save a lot of labor and time. It does add some effort to controlling the tiller, but is well worth it.

Works great makes hilling potatoes a breeze

I have a Powermate 196cc rear tine tiller (which is the same as the Southland). When this arrived there was some modification that had to be done prior to use. The part that mounts to the depth bar needed to be ground down about 1/4" on the top in order to make it flat so it would fit. Once this was complete it mounted fairly easy.I have a pretty large garden (120 ft x 60 ft) I used this to hill my corn rows (10 rows 50ft long) and it worked pretty well. We have very sandy soil so there is not much resistance when moving along so that was not much of an issue. I did have some issues with going straight as it has a tendency to drift and once is starts it is hard to get back on track. That is not the fault of the product but just is what it is.I was able to hill the 10 rows in quick time and am glad I bought it. This version is cost effective, with minimal work (grinding took about 20 min) I was in business. I would buy it again. For those without the ability to modify it might not be ask easy though.

Worked great for furrow planting potatoes.
