Triumph66 1,256 #2 Posted July 26, 2015 The flat back tiller is well heavy. Do you have a hydraulic lift on the bac to lower and raise it? I saw one a few months back for sale but I stupidly passed on it. It does a superb job by the look of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was this one. 1 OldBuzzard reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #5 Posted July 26, 2015 The flat back tiller is well heavy. Do you have a hydraulic lift on the bac to lower and raise it? I saw one a few months back for sale but I stupidly passed on it. It does a superb job by the look of it. I do not think any large frame tractor was offered without a hydraulic lift. I do not have any tractors without either electric or hydraulic lift because I suffer from a condition known as Schtickaphobia and therefore have an aversion lift sticks or armstrong lifts. This flat back tiller is different for the large frame tractors compared to the ones for the tube frame, even heavier and mounts with two lift rods like the three point. 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #6 Posted July 26, 2015 I thought that was the case about the hydraulic lift on your LF. A nice looking tractor by the way. 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #7 Posted July 26, 2015 I thought that was the case about the hydraulic lift on your LF. A nice looking tractor by the way. I would hate to try and lift any Bolens flat top tiller with a hand lift, they have a transmission/gearbox on them that weighs a tonne, before you even talk about the tines and case 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #8 Posted July 26, 2015 In truth that is one of the reasons why I forgo the tiller. However, one day I will get one when I find a suitable tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe the small engine man 89 #9 Posted July 26, 2015 That's looking great. I wish it was that sunny in Wales UK 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What you need Andrew is what I have on my 16hp Simplicity 7016HK, I think the the mid mount part is a small hiller. It going to be 99-102 today with a heat index possibly as high as 120, I wish I could send some of it to Wales 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeadExam 1,783 #12 Posted July 27, 2015 That's a very nice simplicity Alain. Thanks Andrew, that's a Kohler 16hp on it not a Briggs and Stratton, you wont see that often. It's a hydro with electric lift and I added LED rear tail lights and halogen front driving lights. I have a front dozer blade. rototiller, and deck with it also. 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
