Tiller kick-stand....

spruce Deere · Apr 13, 2022

Got home from work, greased my trusty KK tiller and hit the dirt today.

I Was finishing up a 2 acre till from last night. I was tilling up-hill, not super steep but I noticed the LS was seeming to loose traction, stupid R-4's I thought... the loss of traction compared to R-1 I have noticed the more I use the LS that is so equipped.

Pulled the 4x4 lever and continued on my way. Very shortly after the tiller started making a racket that sounded and felt like I lost the gear box then it locked up.

Luckily, I just Lost the kick-stand instead. I had forgot to hang it up after greasing the tine tube bearing.

Some bending back of metal and a new bolt and I thinks I'm good

People may knock a KK tiller, but so far I have treated it worse than it has treated me.... and I use it alot

I welded a cheap trailer tongue jack on the bar that runs across the front of the tiller which allows me to raise/lower the tiller to make it easier to hook up. Once its hooked up I just swing the jack up out of the way.
