Description
The BRABER BE-TS180 71" 3-Point PTO Rotary Tiller is a gear-drive soil preparation attachment designed for tractors equipped with a Category 1, three-point hitch and 540 RPM PTO. With a 71-inch tilling width, 54 blades, and a tillage depth of 6-1/2 inches, it is suited to preparing larger garden plots, agricultural beds, and other soil-cultivation areas. Its fixed center-mount hitch, skid shoes for depth control, parking stand, and slip-clutch PTO yoke provide a practical configuration for routine tillage and storage.
Efficient Soil Preparation and Tillage
The BE-TS180 uses a gear-drive system to transfer PTO power to the rotary tiller. Its 71-inch working width covers a broad area with each pass, while the 54-blade configuration is designed for rotary soil cultivation. The tiller provides a listed working depth of 6-1/2 inches, with skid shoes helping control the operating depth during use.
A fixed center-mount hitch keeps the attachment positioned centrally behind the tractor. The Category 1 three-point hitch is intended for compatible compact and utility tractors within the verified power range. A parking stand supports the implement when it is detached and stored, while the slip-clutch PTO yoke is included in the catalogue feature listing.
