New power tillers
Kuhn Farm Machinery is marketing four new power tillers. Three are designed for vineyards, market gardens, nurseries and parks. The other is for large scale farmers and contractors.
The EL62, EL82 and EL92 power tillers are equipped with C-blades for good soil engagement and plant residue mixing and are available in 12 working widths ranging from 50 to 91 inches. The EL82 and EL92 also offer L-blades for work at shallow depths. The tillers are mounted on a large-diameter rotor to minimize smearing or clogging problems. Features include a sliding offset to the right that allows the PTO shaft to stay aligned with the tractor and a friction slip clutch mounted to the PTO to protect the tiller drive.
The largest tiller, the EL142, features a rotor-bearing housing that can be removed quickly and easily and allows for numerous possibilities of rotor types, including straight blades, straight angled blades and tines.
