One more tiller question

[ym2610]

I'm trying to find a picture of a 2610 hooked to a tiller, I'm 99.9% sure I have the bracket on right, but it will go on two different ways, if you have a pic or know of a web site, I would appreciate you posting the pic or the link.HGM setup is close, but mine is a little different, but thanks for your pics, on the other post. Just to let you guys know, even if its hooked up wrong, had to try it out, sounded great, no noise and set it on the ground for about a second or two, but it didn't like Alabama red packed clay, but it was going to till it any way, can't wait to get it in cut ground, and my sons also like the idea of not using the front tine this year, and having a lot bigger garden. Thanks for the help here and on the other post. Robert

Obviously I cant help with a different bracket... But, in case you havent seen any recomendations, I would recomend taking it really slow the first time through. I start off w/ the tractor in neutral and tiller up to speed, set the tiller down and let it settle down to about 3" depth before going forward. Then Beging in 1st gear, taking it slowly because of the hard ground and rocks.. As you get the feel of how hard the ground is, you can pick up speed one gear at a time. Of course once you get that done, you can go back over and do another 3-4".. Tyipicly I'll end up with 5-6" fluff... I did last years garden last week and though the ground was somewhat hard, I knew there were no rocks, so I set it down about 5-6" and let her rip in 3rd low... You saw my results, I was happy.. Beats the heck out of those abusive walk behinds.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I can't help you with a 2610 tractor but here is a pic of the upper attachment point on my F series.

Note the vert bolt by the upper hitch pin. With the bolt adj'd it serves as an alignment stop so the lower hitch pin just pushes through.

Hope the pic is helpful.

Thanks Greg you stopped me from having to ask another question /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif, really slow at first sounds good. Mickey thanks for the picture, but I'm going to post some pics, I think /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif, if I can figure it out. Robert
