Appendix B: Attachments & Accessories
Troy-Bilt® PTO Chipper/Shredder
The Troy-Bilt® PTO Chipper/Shredder
provides a convenient, easy means of
cleaning up unsightly brush piles and
other organic matter on your property,
w/ith the added bonus of providing an
unending supply of useful wood chips,
mulch and compost for your landscaping
and gardening needs.
The unit connects quickly to your tiller
and goes wherever your tiller can go. The
swivel wheel on the back of the unit
rotates for extra maneuverability. When
you've finished your chores, the
Chipper/Shredder stands by itself on its
own built-in stand.
The PTO Chipper/Shredder can chip
limbs, stalks and vines up to 3" in
diameter, and can shred the same
materials up to 1/2" in diameter. The unit
also handles all manner of organic
material including lumber, leaves, grass,
weeds, brush, paper and sod.
Troy-Bilt® PTO Log Splitter
The Troy-Bilt® PTO Log Splitter provides
you with a convenient and easy means of
splitting about a half a cord of wood per
hour when working alone. When
connected to the PTO Power Unit, the
tiller's engine runs the splitter’s hydraulic
pump, providing you with 13 tons of
steady, unhurried and predictable splitting
force.
As an added benefit, the power-driven
mobility provided by the PTO Power Unit
allows you to move the splitter to and
from your wood pile, over to a neighbor's
place, or along the woodpile to a fresh
supply of logs.
Features include a 15 second splitting
cycle: can handle log sizes up to 26" long;
a two-stage hydraulic pump that automat­
ically shifts into low gear to provide four-
times greater pressure when needed:
slim-cut wedge design for splitting green,
stringy wood; and an auto-control valve
for automatic return stroke.
Dozer/Snow Blade Attachment
In the winter, moves up to one foot of
light snow (or 6"-to-8" of heavy snow); at
other times use it to move or spread
sand, gravel, loose dirt, grain, sawdust,
etc. Attaches easily to the front of the
Wrap-Around Bumper Guard. Set the
blade to several angles. Weighs 41 -lbs.;
measures 15" x 32".
Hiller/Furrower Attachment
The most popular attachment because it
does so many jobs. Mounts to the rear of
the depth regulator bracket. Furrower
blade easily makes plant rows, trenches,
ditches to 8" deep. When hiller wings are
attached to furrower blade, attachment
makes hilled rows and raised bed
gardens. Converts from a furrower to a
hiller and back again, in seconds, without
tools.
Row Marker Attachment
Do you like very straight, even, neat rows
in your garden? If so, the Row Marker is
a must attachment. Hooks quickly to the
Hiller/Furrower attachment- eliminates
the need for string, stakes, measuring
tape, etc. You'll like the straight rows it
helps you make if you lay out furrows, dig
compost trenches, or make raised beds.
The Row Marker extends from 28"-to-
49YY, letting you vary the width between
rows to suit the crop you're planting.
Tire Chains
Chains provide extra traction when snow­
plowing, or under wet or slick conditions.
Tow Hitch Attachment
Converts your tiller to a tractor-type
hauling machine. Connects quickly to the
rear of the tiller Power Unit. This is a
standard-type tow hitch so it can tow
many kinds of equipment.
V-Sweep Cultivator
The V-Sweep Cultivator is a specialized
tool designed for between-row crop culti­
vation. Instead of stirring the soil, it
slices through just below the surface to
eliminate practically any weeds in its path.
The Sweep mounts easily to the optional
Tow Hitch Attachment at the rear of the
PTO Power Unit. The blade is made of
high carbon, heat treated steel and
measures 2" wide (overall wing span is
20'j.
The unique way the Sweep works,
skimming alongjust underneath the soil's
surface without turning the soil over,
makes this the ideal tool for use in dry,
dusty conditions where it is important to
keep soil disturbance to a minimum.
And, because of its 20" wide cutting path,
it does an effective cultivation Job at a fast
speed.
The Sweep's natural shallow cultivation
helps to prevent weed seeds from being
brought to the soil's surface. This
shallow cultivation feature also means
there's less chance of damaging the roots
of your vegetables. For deeper or more
shallow cultivating, the blade depth can
be changed with a simple adjustment..
Wheel Weights
Help increase traction by putting extra
weight directly on the wheels. They
reduce bucking and jumping when deep-
tilling in heavy soil. They're shipped
empty- fill them with material like
concrete, sand, gravel, etc. They bolt
directly to the tiller wheels.
Wrap-Around Bumper Guard
Order this Bumper Guard by itself or
receive it as one of the components if you
order the combination Dozer/ Snow Blade
attachment. Protects the engine from
damage by wrapping around and protect­
ing many of the engine components. 1"
diameter, high-strength steel tubing.
