Forward vs Reverse Tine Rotary Tillers

[@lordchaa1598]

You guys forgot to mention that toward rotation tillers lift up and go over big rocks. Whereas, reverse rotation tillers have a tendency to pull them into the unit itself and binds it up. Reverse rotation tillers work best on previously maintained ground. Forward rotations work better on rocky soil. I have a reverse rotation and it’s great but when I’m opening up virgin ground, I find myself stopping every two passes to remove rocks from the tines. Regardless, I wouldn’t trade mine in for a forward, because my reverse rotation can just dig much deeper with fewer passes. Great content, very informative 👍

Glad it was helpful!

Why not make a tiller with a gear box that can go both ways.

Now this is a product I could get behind

[@ban80]

A trans gearbox

It’s possible. Cost and weight would be significant

1976 case 446. The tiller is hydraulic drive so forward and reverse. The only downside is the tines are designed to cut better in forward rotation.

@@MJF40 not really just flip the gearbox and use straight tines
