EARTHQUAKE 15683 Hiller-Furrower Kit Rear Tine Rototillers

Actually purchased this for a friend who had recently lent me his Big Red Troy-Bilt tiller to incorporate soil amendments into a new plot. I don't do much actual tillage any more, tending toward attempting to maintain a less disturbed soil structure, but there are times when the counter-rotating tines of the Horse, et al, are the perfect tool, and this furrowing attachment is the perfect compliment. It is as far as I can tell, an duplicate of the product offered by Troy-Bilt, albeit at less than half their usual asking price. The dimensions, finish, and build seem identical, and after this past season's use it has proven to be every bit as durable and capable..If you own a Troy-Bilt tiller and don't have this attachment you are definitely missing out on a huge part of the machine's potential. While I no longer own a Troy-Bilt tiller, I had owned an 8 hp Kohler engined Horse previously for years, and their furrowing attachment was something that I had purchased with it when new. Used it for better than 20 years before someone decided that they liked it better than me and stole it right out of my potato patch one evening, where I had been using it to dig 'taters. Hard to beat for forming raised beds, planting, and shallow ditching. For the price you really can't go wrong, and actually, even at twice the price I never regretted my original purchase. .

I was expecting kind of a cheap flimsy metal product, but was happily surprised they use very heavy duty gauge metal for this. I’ve already used it today and it works excellent. It doesn’t say that it fits my model MTD but it is the same as a Husqvarna. Took only 15 minutes to assemble and connect to my Rototiller. Highly recommend.

I thought It did a really good job, if you try to put both fins on at same time it's going to make your rows too close together. I did my garden and then realized all the roads were only about 18 in apart from Peak to Peak. So I ended up having to go out and rake every other row back down flat. Next time I will just install the fin on one side and just do one side of each row and then come back down the garden from the opposite direction with the other fin on and do the other side. Definitely a lifesaver.

I ordered this not certain if it came with the adapters or not. When it arrived I was relieved to see that the adapters were in the box. When I went out to install this on my old Troy-Bilt Horse PTO tiller I looked at the Troy-Bilt adapter and said, "No Way Will That Work." Upon further examination I found that this fit my tiller without using an adapter. It fits perfectly with a single bolt using a hole that was already there. The only thing that I would criticize is that the bolt for affixing to the tiller is a little short. For me that was not really a problem as I used a Universal Clevis Pin with washers and a spring to keep it from moving about. My garden had already been loosened up by a couple of passes with the tiller. I was able to make furrows quickly and much easier than if done by hand. The only problem I had was keeping my furrow straight. I think that might be partly due to the tiller wanting to follow non-parallel tracks from previous tilling. I had the wings attached and they were as close to parallel with the ground as possible. My old tiller was just barely able to pull the extra load of the dirt the wings moved. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who wants to save a lot of labor and time. It does add some effort to controlling the tiller, but is well worth it.

Bought this to see if it would help me make a better garden. It was very easy to assemble, nonissues there. Came with several other pieces to attach to various tillers. I was borrowing a "champion" brand tiller, which this is NOT compatible with by the way. It worked once I figured it out. First time really doing a garden this was. I posted a long video on you tube "earthquake furrower assembly" which may show you more how it works and what I did it. I plan to get a tiller that this is compatible with and hopefully that will be a better experience.

This is a must for anyone tilling a garden to get those perfect rows, but by letting your machine do all the work. Its adjustable, fits several machines. My tiller is the Earthquake, yet it come with adadpers for other tiller brands. Put it together and on the machine in about 15 minutes. Gardening for me will never be the same! Highly recommend.

Does not perform as eexpected

I want to LOVE this product! It's built like a brick house. It's beautiful. It looks like it could plow the entire Midwest of America. BUT IT'S TOO MODERN FOR MY POOR TROY BILT HORSE III TILLER!!! The connectors won't work on my 1987 Troy Bilt Horse III, as it doesn't have the kick-back preventer, where this device is meant to be attached. Please make sure you check the photos I've included, and compare them to your tiller. If your tiller does NOT have the kick-back preventer, it's too old, and this device won't fit. I don't see this as the seller's fault, or mine, really. There's just not many of these old girls left around, and every reference document I consulted said this would fit. But alas, it does not. I will have to mound the earth by hand, I'm afraid.

Garden furrow worked perfect on Husqvarna tiller.

So, this is amazing. I wasn't sure if it would fit my Honday FR750 (I'm in Australia) but it does and works a treat. I just used a bolt to get it connect to the where the drag bar screw normally goes, and then improved on that with a tapered bolt. This attachment means I can now plant hundreds of potato plants without breaking a sweat. It even matches the Honda red. Basically, Earthquake need to make a modified version for the Honda 750 and small scale farming can make a comeback. It would also be great if they gave some advice on building raised beds with it e.g., 30 inch/75cm beds with a 45cm path is what I have done.

Accessoire très utile, facile à installer, facile à utiliser. Fabrication très robuste.

Works great makes hilling potatoes a breeze
