I had that issue. I'm much more careful about raising the tiller at the end of the rows now.Is that clanking all the time or just when the unit is raised high ?

due to way pats hitches act like a 3.5" extension of the lift bars I gain a lot of lift but due to extra length my angle of attacks (as far as I can tell with shields on) very very close to org no hitch specs.I had that issue.

Your false statements were post 17 where you stayed every time should have 2 bolts and in post 21 where you said the dealer either installed it wrong or something else isn't right.
By your own statement you have 200hp rated heavy duty tillers that use 2 bolts. By that logic one bolt should be good for 100hp right? And most people here are running a tiller behind a 30-40hp tractor. So what's the problem?
#17, There should be 2 bolts holding every tine.
#21, I've never heard of a tiller using one bolt, either they are installed wrong or something else just isn't right.
I can't imagine it holding up with one bolt per tine, I'd be talking to my dealer...
I know exactly what you wrote. You made false statements and I called you out on it and now you are going on the defensive.There's what I wrote, as for #17, I still think that on a HD tiller two bolts should be used...
As for #21, I have not seen a tiller that only used 1 bolt per tine, and I still have never even heard of a HD tiller using 1 bolt, what part of that don't you understand?? NOW I see, some company's have cheapened their design down to a single bolt, that caused this thread to begin with!
As for my own logic, where did you come up with that?? You making stuff up now? I stated there are tillers made for tractors with over 200 pto HP to run them, have you ever seen one??? IF you ever do, you will see how they are built to take that kind of HP.
My HD tiller, built to take 100hp has two bolts, as does my HD tiller that's made to take 65hp. I believe another one of my HD tillers is made to take about 40hp, I don't remember for sure. All of them have drive line slip clutches.
You still haven't told me all about YOUR HD tiller that you learned your vast tiller knowledge from! I don't think you ever ran one let alone actually own one. My tiller knowledge comes from my commercial tilling business that I started in 1983, so I have learned a few things along the way...
SO, I'm done answering you, as once a poster starts making stuff up, they are too far gone to believe anything they have to say. So, fire away and enjoy yourself. lol

Ive got this exact issue now. It's been over two years since your post. Have you experienced additional problems or were you able to simply.tighten the bolt?Thanks for commenting. I'll tighten those up today.....but I'm with sawyer rob ...I feel like running away from this one. I'm going to feel uneasy every time i use the unit. If they loosened that soon after use being brand new seems like it will happen all the time. Not sure if I want to keep it or not.
Sir after you get it all worked out I think you will really enjoy it. I use mine all the time. Have different things in the truck patch coming in all time. I’ve got a big old Massey and I chisel plow my ground before I till, but that’s only because I have the time and equipment. Good luckThanks for commenting.
