Kubota tiller depth weels.

[Alexisferos]

Hello again fellow kubota users,
my small l1501-l185 has its original japan tiller RS1351

picture from google.

i have a question as always.
as everyone can see this type of tillers have two wheels at the back of them.
in the places that i dig in to till some times this wheels don't let me till near the edge.
i thought to remove them with all the tubes there and modify the rear door with chains and turn brackets.

i know the usage of them is to arrange the depth of tilling but i can do it easily from the 3pt leveler by hand.

does any of you have a tiller like that or similar without the wheels to verify me that is possible to till without them... ????

silly question i know.. but i don't like them either.

Alex Im in the dark here, but I would think that they are not for depth control but for use in hilling the dirt after its been tilled. they look like they can be angled in or out,, but I see no reason why you couldn't remove them, and just use the 3pt, unless you were going to plant some root crop like potatoes. then it would till and hill in one pass,,, just a thought

I was looking on the net and that looks just like mine and I'm even seeing some orange on mine .
I don't have the rear wheels or hillers as I believe they are . And mine had no back .

I made the back . Because with out it it would throw dirt every where .

I'm need new tines . So I'm looking for a place to buy tines .

My B7001 has an RS1000 tiller which is nearly identical and the wheels and attaching hardware had been removed before it was purchased. I works fine without them. I use the holdup chain to limit the depth and the controll lever to raise and lower the tiller on uneven ground.

Backing up to a fence line is always a problem with a tiller. Your gauge wheels are going to worsen the situation, but once you are going those wheels look like they will do a bang-up job of keeping the tilling depth constant - better than the shoes/wheels mounted alongside the tines. I'd keep them, unless you feel you are losing too much sq footage.
Have fun farming!

U don't need gauge wheels drop it all the way and let it eat . I plow deep as I can disk deep as I can get it to cut and I till as deep as it will eat .
