Kubota New Zealand has launched the Land Pride Rotary Tiller range.

This broadens its product offering in the lifestyle farming and garden maintenance space.

The Land Pride RT12 range covers working widths from 1.1 to 2.1 metres, with a 60-horsepower gearbox rating. The range is offered with the unique option of a conventional forward rotating rotor or reverse rotating rotor.

“With a reverse rotating rotor, the tines rotate in the opposite direction to conventional tillers, pulling the tiller into the soil more effectively, particularly in hard conditions,” explains Kubota Australia product manager for Land Pride, John Moloney.

“This helps bury residues more effectively and tills more intensively, resulting in a high-quality seedbed.”

The offset capabilities allow the tiller to work closer to objects such as fence lines, buildings or trees. Meanwhile, tilling depth is maintained with the adjustable skids at each side of the machine.

The new range is compatible with the Land Pride QH Series Quick Hitch, allowing operators to quickly connect and disconnect between implements – a time saver when working on multiple projects.

An extensive warranty offers a 3-year protection on the main gearbox. This is complemented by 10-year coverage of the chain and sprocket assembly housed in the side transmission.
