jeremi3210 717 #1 Posted July 16, 2020 Good day! I have a chance to pick up a tiller for my gt14, I have all of the parts to install it. My question is has any one used one? If so what are your opinions on it. Do they work better than one for a c series wh. I have one of those and they work great! Just want to know if it's worth buying one for a gt14. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZXT 2,401 #2 Posted July 16, 2020 I've not used one for a GT-14, but if one were to come up for a reasonable price, I'd buy it in a heart beat. Attachments are pretty scarce for them.. Hence why mine has none! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeremi3210 717 #3 Posted July 16, 2020 I know that's why iam debating on it! If nothing else it would make a nice counter weight for my loader gt14! I know the c tillers really push the hydro tractors around not sure if a gt14 would act the same being a bigger machine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,674 #4 Posted July 16, 2020 There was a posting here recently about a GT14 with tiller that broke the hydro pump input shaft. The strange twin pulley arrangement would seem to put additional stress on the hydo pump shaft.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,803 #5 Posted July 16, 2020 Do you have the cone style pulley that bolts onto the input shaft of the transmission? I have heard that is the rarest part of the equation and possibly fragile even. Any experience I have had with a GT14 says they are tougher than they need to be and every “should I ——- for/with my GT14?” Question should be yes hands down. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I do have one with that pulley already installed! I got really lucky when I picked up my second gt14 for 200 bucks!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like you bought a pulley, got a tractor for free! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhhorn 2 #9 Posted September 10, 2020 I have used my tiller on my GT14 now for 3 years. It does a good job even in hard, rocky clay soil. When I got the tiller it had a broken input shaft in the gearbox, so I rebuilt the gearbox wirth new bearings and seals and had a local machine shop make a new input shaft for the tiller out of drill rod. Now the tiller is almost bulletproof. I have used it in virgin, hard packed rocky clay soil last year to expand my garden and I had it tilled and ready to plant in 3 passes over the new section. I didn't have any problem with the double pully on the transmission input shaft and the previos owner had used the tiller every year since the tractor was new in 1970 and must have sold it because the tiller input shaft broke.. I would recommend buying the tiller if the price is reasonable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
