  • Rotary tiller attachment to facilitate towing
    Patent number: 6131670
    Abstract: An attachment kit with swiveling wheel for converting a self-propelled rotary tiller with rear tines and motor driven wheels into a towing machine. The attachment kit is secured to the tiller in place of the drag stake. A mounting bracket (8) allows for the assembly to be easily mounted to the rotary tiller without removing either tines (11) or the tine guard (12). The attachment kit with swiveling wheel (9) adds versatility and stability to the rotary tiller by converting it into a towing machine which can be used to tow many different types of trailers, nut harvesters, garden carts, etc. A towing tower (10a) and (10b) to facilitate towing a nut harvester easily connects to the attachment kit. The attachment kit also accepts ball-type hitches and drop-pin hitches.
