Efficient 66 Inch Rotary Tiller for Tractor Soil Preparation
Land Pride RTA1266 66-Inch RTA12 Series Forward-Rotation Rotary Tiller
Product Overview
The Land Pride RTA1266 66-Inch RTA12 Series Rotary Tiller is a rear-mounted, three-point tiller designed for preparing soil in gardens, food plots, landscaping areas, and other cultivated spaces. Its 66-inch tilling width provides good coverage for medium-sized planting and soil-preparation projects while remaining suitable for compatible compact and utility tractors.
The RTA1266 uses a forward-rotation rotor, with the tines turning in the same direction as the tractor's travel. This configuration is well suited to cultivating workable soil, incorporating surface material, and producing a prepared seedbed. Land Pride's specifications place the RTA1266 in the 20–50 PTO HP tractor range.
Key Features
- 66-inch tilling width for efficient soil preparation.
- Forward-rotation rotor helps cultivate and break up workable soil.
- Designed for tractors producing 20–50 PTO HP.
- Category I three-point hitch with adjustable lower hitch clevis.
- Compatible with the Land Pride Quick-Hitch system.
- Tiller can be offset up to 7 inches, although it must be centered when used with a Quick-Hitch.
- Eight rotor flanges with four tines per flange.
- Heat-treated, alloy-steel C-shaped tines provide durable soil penetration.
- 15-inch rotor swing diameter.
- Rotor speed of approximately 211 RPM at 540 RPM PTO.
- Adjustable skid shoes allow control of tilling depth.
- Adjustable rear deflector helps control the soil finish.
- Adjustable storage stands simplify parking and storage.
- #80 roller chain is enclosed in an oil bath for drivetrain protection.
- Slip-clutch driveline helps protect the tractor and tiller from sudden shock loads.
Forward-Rotation Tilling
The RTA1266 is designed around a forward-rotation tilling system. The rotor turns in the same general direction as the tractor moves, allowing the tines to break and condition the soil as the implement travels across the ground.
This arrangement is particularly useful for previously cultivated or reasonably workable soil, including garden beds, food plots, landscaping areas, and lawn-seeding projects. For hard or previously undisturbed ground, operators may need to make multiple passes while adjusting the tilling depth and tractor speed.
66-Inch Working Width
With a 66-inch working width, the RTA1266 can cover a substantial area with each pass. Its width makes it a useful middle-ground option for operators who need more productivity than a 50- or 58-inch tiller can provide without moving up to a much wider implement.
The 66-inch model has an overall width of approximately 71 inches, according to Land Pride's published specifications.
Heat-Treated C-Shaped Tines
The RTA1266 uses four heat-treated alloy-steel C-shaped tines per rotor flange. The C-shaped design is intended to provide effective soil penetration while maintaining reasonable power requirements.
With eight flanges and four tines per flange, the tiller has a total of 32 tines working across its 66-inch width. The tines are designed for soil cultivation and seedbed preparation rather than heavy-duty excavation.
Adjustable Depth Control
Adjustable skid shoes allow the operator to control the working depth of the tiller. Setting the appropriate depth is important for achieving a consistent seedbed while avoiding unnecessary strain on the tractor and driveline.
When breaking new or compacted ground, it is generally better to begin with a conservative depth and make additional passes rather than attempting maximum depth immediately.
Adjustable Rear Deflector
The RTA1266 incorporates an adjustable rear deflector that helps control how loosened soil exits the tiller.
Changing the deflector position can influence the finish of the tilled surface, making it possible to adjust the implement for more aggressive soil processing or a smoother final pass.
Side-Shift Capability
The RTA1266 provides useful side-shift capability of up to 7 inches. This allows the tiller to be positioned slightly to the side of the tractor when the application requires additional reach.
When using a Quick-Hitch, however, Land Pride specifies that the tiller must be centered.
Heavy-Duty Drivetrain
Power is transferred from the tractor PTO through a Category II driveline with slip clutch in the published RTA12 specifications. The gearbox uses a 1.92:1 ratio, cast-iron housing, tapered roller bearings, and bevel gears.
The rotor is driven through a #80 roller chain enclosed in an oil bath. The enclosed chain system helps keep the drive components lubricated while reducing exposure to dirt and debris.
