Thetiller dr iveline is coupledto thetractorand 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 the PTO at low engine rpm to minimize
start-up torque on the dr iveline. Drivelines with friction
clutches must go through a “run-in” operation prior
to initial use and after long periods of inactivity.See
“Section4: Maintenance& Lubrication” on page 23 for
a detailed description of maintaining the driveline.
Ifthe Rotary Tiller is to be used on more thanone tractor,
an additional driveline may be required - especially if a
quick hitch is used.
!
DANGER
Do not engage tractor PTO while hooking-up and unhooking
driveline or while someone is standing near the driveline. A
person’s body and/or clothing can become entangled in the
driveline resulting in serious injury or death.
!
WARNING
Do not use a PTO adaptor with a quick hitch. A PTO adapter
will increase strain on the tractor’s PTO shaft resulting in
possible damage to shaft and driveline.
!
DANGER
All guards and shields must be installed and in good working
condition at all times during tiller operation!

General Operating Instructions
Before using your Land Pride RTR10 or RTR15 Series
Rotary Tiller, you should have completely read the
Operator’s Manual, properly attached the tiller to the
tractor, cut the driveline to proper length, run-in the
clutch, and gone through the Operating Checklist. If you
have missed any of these steps, please complete them
before proceeding.
Now that you have properly prepared yourself and your
tiller,it’stime todo sometilling. Carefully dr ive thetractor
to the site where you intend to till. You should have
already cleaned this site of any large limbs, rocks,
trash, metal, or other debris. Best results will be
achievedifyou have mountedyour tiller offset tothe right
far enough to cover the tread of your right tractor wheel.
Linethe tractor upjust tother ight ofcenter onyourtillage
plot. You will be working from the center out and always
turning to the r ight to line up for your next pass.
Lower the tiller half way to the ground and reduce your
tractor engine speed to about one quarter throttle.
Engage the PTO and gradually increase the engine
speed until you reach full PTO speed of 540 rpm. Lower
the tiller to the ground and simultaneously commence
forwardtravelof approximately2mph. Donotmake turns
or attempt to back up while tiller is in the ground. See
important note below.
IMPORTANT: Turning or backing up with rotary
tines in the ground will damage the tiller.
Travel about 50 ft. and then stop to check your results.
When stopping, remember to lift the tiller out of the
ground, stop the tractor, reduce engine speed,
disengage the PTO, set the par k brake, shut off the
tractor,and remove the keys.If you are tilling too shallow
or too deep, adjust the skid shoes accordingly. If the soil
textureis too coarse,lower the rear deflector and reduce
your ground speed. If the soil texture is too fine, you will
need to raise your rear deflector and increase your
groundspeed.Foranyother problemconditionsthatmay
arise,youwill wanttoreferto the Troubleshootingsection
on page 32.
When youare done tilling for the day, make sure you use
propertractor shutdown procedures beforeyou get off of
the tractor.If you are detaching yourtiller, makesure you
park it on a dry and level surface leaving it clean and
ready forthe next use. When you put yourtiller up for the
season,make sure youreferto theStorage Directions on
page 26.
With a little practice and a fewadjustments, you will soon
be achieving the results you want with your Land Pride
Rotary Tiller. See “Features and Benefits” Section 6
or “Specifications and Capacities” Section 5 for
additional information and performance enhancing
options.

Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication
Maintenance
Properser vicing and adjustment is the keyto the long life
of any implement. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, youcan avoid costly down time and repair.
The parts on your Rotary Tiller have been specially
designedand shouldonly be replacedwith genuineLand
Pride parts. Do not alter the tiller in a way which will
adversely affects its performance.
Check all bolts and pins after using the unit for several
hoursand on aregular basis thereafter to insurethey are
tight and secured.
Replace worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels by
obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.
Driveline Protection
Tiller drive components are protected from shock loads
with either a two plate friction clutch or a shear bolt.
Shear bolt protection is discussed on page 25.
Friction clutches should be “run-in” prior to initial
operation and after long per iods of inactivity to remove
any oxidation that may have accumulated on the friction
surfaces.Repeat “run-in” instructions atthe beginning of
each season and when moisture and/or condensation
seizes the inner friction plates.
Refer to Figure 4-2 below and Figure 4-3 on page 25 to
determine which friction clutch your tiller has. Follow
run-In, disassembly,and assembly instructions for your
specific clutch.
!
CAUTION
For safety reasons, each maintenance operation must be
performed with tractor PTO disengaged, tiller lowered
completely to the ground or onto support blocks, tractor
engine shut off, and ignition key removed.
Tine Replacement
Refer to Figure 4-1:
!
WARNING
Worn tines may be very sharp!
IMPORTANT: When ordering, be sure to order
genuine Land Pride replacement tines only and to
order both right and left-hand tines. Always install
tines with cutting edge facing direction of rotation.
IMPORTANT: Remove and install one tine at a time
to ensure they are oriented correctly when installed.
1. Remove 2 hex head cap screws and fasteners from
each tine being replaced. Remove tine.
2. Attacheach new tineto the flangemaking certain it is
mounted so that the cutting edge crosses over the
flange and leads in rotation as shown in Figure 4-1.
3. Replace 2 cap screws andfasteners. Tightennuts to
proper torque.

Clutches With 4 Adjusting Nuts
Clutch Run-In
Refer to Figure 4-2 (View - A):
1. Using a pencil or other marker,scribe a line across the
exposed edges of the clutch plates and friction disks.
2. Tighten all 4 nuts uniformly until spring load is low
enough that the clutch slips freely with PTO
engaged.

Clutches With 4 Adjusting Nuts
Figure 4-2
3. Start tractor and engage PTO for 2-3 seconds to
permit slippage of clutch surfaces. Disengage PTO,
then re-engage a second time for 2-3 seconds.
Disengage PTO, shut off tractor, and remove key.
Wait for all components to stop before dismounting
from tractor.
4. Inspect clutch and ensure that the scribed markings
made on the clutch plates have changed position.
Slippage has not occurred if any two marks on the
friction disk and plate are still aligned. A clutch that
has not slipped must be disassembled to separate
the friction disk plates. See “Clutch Disassembly &
Assembly” on page 24.
Refer to Figure 4-2 (View - B):
5. Turn all 4 nuts fully back if no two mar ks on the
frictiondisk andplate are stillaligned. Clutchisready
for use.
6. The clutch should be checked during first hour of
tilling and periodically each week. An additional set
of scribe marks can be added to check for slippage.

Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the Rotar y Tiller when parking it for long per iods and
when parking it at the end of a wor king season. This will
help ensure that the tiller is ready for field use the next
time you hook-up to it.
!
DANGER
Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO and
secure tiller in the up position with solid supports before
servicing underside of tiller. PTO can be engaged if tractor is
started resulting in damage to tiller, bodily injury, or death.
1. Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the Rotar y Tiller. Scrape off
compacted dirt and then wash surfaces thoroughly
with a garden hose.
2. Check the tines for wear and replace if necessary.
See Tine Replacement earlier in this section.
3. Inspect the tiller for loose, damaged, or worn parts
and adjust or replace if needed.
4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
preventrust. Ask your dealer for Land Pride Aerosol
touch-up paint. They are also available in touch-up
bottleswith brush,quar ts, andgallon sizes byadding
TU,QT, or GL to the end of the Aerosol part number.
A coating of oil may be applied to worn surfaces in
lieu of painting to minimize oxidation.
