20 Most Recent King Kutter Ii Gear Driven Rotary Tiller 4ft Questions & Answers

Susan Ensley supplies a great answer for this 2012 question! I had that same problem with mine. What you have to do is to buy a longer shaft and cut it to the size that will work. Mine CAME too long for that purpose; cut it to fit my smaller Kubota. Traded that tractor in for a much larger one and had to repeat the process, only THIS one worked fine with the long length. I hope this makes sense! My female brain only knows how to explain it as I did! But, mine works now!

You checked for a piece of post or rock stuck in the tines?You should be able to turn the PTO shaft by hand. Suggest you disconnect the PTO shaft from the tractor and make sure the problem is the tiller.The tiller end of the pto shaft has both a slip clutch and a shear pin to protect the gear box and tine shaft drive gear. See attachment.If you are unable to turn the PTO shaft by hand with it disconnected from the tractor then likely there is something jambed in the tines or internal damage to the gear box or tine shaft gear drive.Parts diagrams are in the owners manual.
