Message: <blockquote data-quote="SkidRoe" data-source="post: 60154" data-attributes="member: 3290">I decided to build a toobar to interface the rototiller to the bobtach.  That way, it can be used for future attachments, and the tiller can be offset to either side if desired.  Pretty happy with how it turned out.<img src="http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/SkidRoe/Rototiller/aa27170832602cadf431a32b578872fc.jpg?t=1352858504" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 620px; height: 826px" /><img src="http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/SkidRoe/Rototiller/cfa5b3969abd092ccafa40ad59611e9b.jpg?t=1352858503" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 620px; height: 826px" />The tiller attaches to the toolbar with two 1/2" hitch pins.  The bolts on the front of the channel are then tightened to take up the play in the pins to provide a rigid connection.<img src="http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/SkidRoe/Rototiller/fea80c9b8967e504bba4bd6be9122652.jpg?t=1352858515" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 620px; height: 826px" />The pictures were taken in the mock-up stage.  I have since painted all of the fabricated parts and re-assembled the entire unit.  Four of the six tine sets were installed backwards for some reason; that has also been corrected.  The first test this evening was quite successful.  It will stall if you hit a rock, which I think is not a bad thing.  You can lift and tilt the tiller to use the depth bar to pull out the rocks and push then aside.</blockquote>
