Description
The BRABER BE-FTL135 51" 3-Point PTO Rotary Tiller is a rear-mounted soil-preparation implement for compact tractors rated from 15 to 30 HP. Designed for Category 1 three-point hitch systems and a 540 RPM PTO, this rotary tiller combines a chain drive system with 28 C-shaped tines to cultivate and break up soil across a 51-inch working width. Adjustable skid shoes help control the stated 3.54-inch tillage depth, while the fixed-center hitch, shear-pin PTO yoke protection, and parking stand support practical operation, storage, and routine handling around gardens, plots, and other prepared-ground applications.
Reliable Soil Preparation for Compact Tractors
The BE-FTL135 is built for tractor-mounted tillage where a consistent working path and controlled depth are important. Its 51-inch tilling width covers a broad area in each pass, making it suitable for preparing soil before planting and working through previously cultivated ground. The implement connects through a Category 1 three-point hitch with a fixed center mount and is powered by the tractor’s 540 RPM PTO.
A chain drive transfers PTO power to the tiller’s rotor, while the 28 C-shaped tines provide the working components for soil cultivation. The tiller includes four tines per flange and a shear-pin PTO yoke intended to provide driveline protection. Depth can be adjusted using the skid shoes, with a stated tillage depth of 3.54 inches.
Key Features
- 51-inch tilling path for compact-tractor soil preparation

- 540 RPM PTO drive
- Chain drive system

Designed for Controlled Tillage
The adjustable skid shoes allow the operator to set the working depth according to the application and field conditions. This provides a practical way to maintain a consistent tilling depth while using the implement. The fixed-center Category 1 hitch arrangement provides a straightforward connection for compatible compact tractors, and the rear-mounted configuration places the tiller behind the tractor for direct PTO-powered operation.
When the tiller is not in use, the integrated parking stand helps support storage and positioning. As with any PTO-driven implement, use should follow the tractor and tiller operator instructions, including the correct PTO speed and applicable safety procedures.

Tractor Compatibility and Requirements
The BRABER BE-FTL135 is specified for compact tractors rated from 15 to 30 HP and equipped with a Category 1 three-point hitch and a 540 RPM PTO.
