Any tips for buying a used pto tiller?

When considering the acquisition of a used PTO tiller, it's vital to ensure that all components rotate without obstruction and that the bearings exhibit no noticeable wear. Inspect the gearboxes thoroughly—confirm they are adequately lubricated with oil; a lack of oil could indicate a compromised seal. Be vigilant for any excessive play within the gearboxes. It's worth noting that some models come equipped with an additional gear case or utilize belts for driving the main shaft, so be sure to examine their condition as well.

Most of these issues are relatively simple to address if you possess some mechanical skills, but they should factor into your price negotiations. Typically, I would deem a tiller with a severely worn gearbox or a damaged rotor shaft not worth repairing, unless offered at an exceptionally low price. Worn tines (or blades) can also drive up costs, though they generally offer a lengthy service life.

While I have yet to own a PTO tiller, my search for one has led me to learn about key points to assess. Having experience repairing various machinery, I have a good understanding of what to expect.
