Rotary Tiller

The skid-steer loader attachment rotary tiller is a specialized soil cultivation tool designed for skid-steer loaders. It is used to crush and loosen soil through high-speed rotating blades, creating a loose and even cultivation layer. Suitable for farmland plowing, land reclamation, and similar scenarios, it efficiently replaces traditional rotary tillers, significantly improving cultivation efficiency and soil quality.

Structural Components

Key parts include:

• Rotary Tiller Shaft and Blades: The steel shaft features 6–12 high-wear-resistant alloy blades (e.g., 65Mn or chromium-molybdenum alloy) arranged in a spiral or straight pattern. Rotating at 150–300rpm, the blades crush soil clods, grass roots, and residues while distributing the fragmented soil evenly.

• Depth Adjustment Mechanism: Hydraulically controls cultivation depth (100–300mm) to match different crop requirements.

• Connection Frame: Mounts the tiller to the front of the skid-steer loader, transmitting power and lift commands.

• Drive System: Hydraulic-driven shaft rotation (some smaller models use belt transmission).

• Protective and Reinforcement Components: Optional protective covers prevent soil splash; shaft reinforcement sleeves enhance stability.

Working Principle

During operation, the operator activates the rotating blades via the control handle. The blades cut into the soil, crushing clods and roots. Depth is adjusted to control the cultivation layer (e.g., 100–150mm for shallow-rooted crops, 200–300mm for deep-rooted ones). The setup flexibly adapts to hard soil or rocks, ensuring optimal tillage.

Core Features

• High Efficiency: Cultivation width of 1.2–2.0 meters per pass, significantly faster than manual or small tillers, ideal for large farmland areas.

• Soil Refinement & Moisture Retention: Crushes soil into fine particles (<5cm diameter) for a loose, breathable layer that improves water and nutrient retention, benefiting seed germination.

• Strong Adaptability: Adjustable depth suits various crops; wear-resistant blades handle light-to-medium hard soil.

• Flexible Operation: Depth settings and terrain adaptability (e.g., slopes, field edges) ensure precision; integrated with the loader’s hydraulic system for easy control.

• Simple Operation: Controlled via standard loader handles—no specialized training required; quick-install design for seasonal storage.

Typical Application Scenarios

• Agriculture: Farmland plowing (e.g., wheat, corn, rice fields), vegetable garden/fruit orchard soil loosening.

• Land Reclamation: Cultivation preparation for wastelands, tidal flats, or abandoned sites.

• Horticulture: Nursery or flowerbed soil renewal.

• Disaster Recovery: Post-flood or storm soil fragmentation for rapid field restoration.

The rotary tiller delivers mechanized soil cultivation for small-to-medium plots and complex terrains, making it a versatile attachment in farming and land management.
