Page 10: Operation
OPERATION TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER The Buhler Farm King 65 Series Rotary Tiller is a machine that combines the primary and secondary tillage operation into one machine. It breaks up the soil and prepares the seed bed in one pass. Rotational power to the rotor is provided by the tractor PTO. -
Page 11: Machine Break-In
Although there are no operational restrictions on the Tiller when used for the first time, it is recommended that the following mechanical items be checked: A. After operating for 1/2 hour or after completing 1/2 acre: Check all nuts, bolts and other fasteners. Tighten to their specified torque level. -
Page 12: Equipment Matching
To insure the safe and reliable operation of the Tiller, it is necessary to use a tractor with the correct specifications. Use the following list as a guide in selecting a tractor to use on the machine. Horsepower: Use Table 1 as a guide in selecting the tractor horsepower appropriate for your width of machine. -
Page 13: Driveline Dimension
When cutting the driveline, follow this procedure: Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children. Attach the Tiller to the tractor but do not attach the driveline.
