Thanks for the advice guys. I don't have any carb cleaner but will be taking extra gear oil and crossing my fingers.

Help New King Kutter tiller leaking gear oil

Well maybe I�m a wimp, but I couldn�t turn my rear PTO in either direction (had grease rag with me this time).

I�ve been prepping my new KingKutter II 5ft tiller for its first trip to the food plots. I had to shorten the PTO shaft so I went ahead and loosened the slip clutch bolts while it was off the unit. Hooked up the shaft, cranked the tractor, engaged the PTO, and spun the slip clutch by lowering the tiller to the ground. While tightening the dozen or so slip clutch bolts I tried unsuccessfully to hand turn the connected PTO by rotating the raised tiller tines.

Thanks bmeyer,

I wasn�t sure what to do with the back shield. My tiller has a chain that I should be able to adjust in order to raise the back shield a little.

Brokenarrow,
Once you achieve a weed free seed bed, what is your technique for getting the seed in the ground?

Just purchased a 5ft KingKutter II Tiller and 5ft KingKutter Box Blade. They added Gear Lube and 1/2 dozen Lynch Pins for good measure.

Anyone out there used a role over type box blade (i.e. RO 720)? Any advantages over a standard box blade?

At the moment, my tractor is 20 miles away and I need to know the true width of a B3030 equiped with R4's. <br>

Will a 58" tiller cover the tracks?

Brokenarrow,
Your Roundup technique sounds good but I'd like to know what you're doing to prepare the plot for planting after the second application of Roundup.
After killing the weeds with the first application and tilling the soil, you're saying to wait a few weeks to hit it again with Roundup to kill the addition weeds brought to the surface by tilling. Will I not have to till the soil again before broadcasting the seed? What implement are you using to prepare the seed bed after the second spraying. By tilling again, want it bring additional weeds to the surface?

Brokenarrow,

Sorry I can�t help you with the reverse gearing of the tiller. However, after checking out your pic�s you might be able to provide me with some valuable insight.

I�ve got a B3030 and need to purchase an implement to help prepare my deer food plots (2, 2, and 5 acres). I�m currently leaning toward the purchase of a 5 ft rotary tiller (KK II or CCM). The food plot soil is a little on the sandy side and has been worked for decades. Although I don�t have experience with a big tiller, I�m a little disappointed with the selection of disc/harrows I�ve seen for my tractor. My uncles 6 ft box disc/harrow (similar to what you have) appears a little big for my tractor. I think I�ll need a 5 footer with the smaller 14 inch disc�s (lower the overall profile) and the only harrows I�ve seen that fit this discription appear to be the lighter angle iron variety.

I�d appreciate your take on the best implement for the job at hand.

The dealership reports they have found the cause of the blown dash fuses on my B3030. They reported the following: "Our technician ran the tractor and also blew 4 or 5 10amp fuses. He removed the steering wheel, the instrument meter cluster, the lower panel and found a pinched wire on the steering housing. He repaired the wires and reinstalled everything. Tested the tractor and NOW its running GREAT."

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Are you using the 5ft. King Kutter II or XB tiller? I've got a B3030 and am trying to decide on a tiller.

Instead of a Rotary Tiller

Replies 33 Post by JBarron

I was almost convinced to buy a Rotary Tiller instead of a disc harrow. In fact, I�d dropped by Tractor Supply and checked out the KingKutter II 5 ft. tiller. However, the B3030 manual has 50 inch and 550 lb max. Does anyone out there have experience running a 5 ft tiller on a B3030/B7800? Will it handle the 5 ft? Any suggestions on other rotary tiller brands/sizes?<br>
Thanks,<br>
Johnny

Thanks for the good advice! I can definitely see how the extra length will help me balance the load. I'm now looking at the 18 ft version with brakes on both axles.

I had just finished mowing 6 acres on my new Kubota B3030 when the next-door neighbor came by to look it over. He was offering various tips and said that I needed to burn �off-road� diesel fuel in the tractor. The manual simply says to use No.2 diesel fuel at temps above 14 F and No.1 diesel fuel at temps below 14 F. <br>
<br>
Since I�ve already purchased 10 gal of diesel at the local service station (receipt has DSL 1), am I safe to use this fuel? This is my first tractor and I�m hoping someone can clear this up before I make a mistake. <br>
