IronCraft UH Series: 72″ Heavy-Duty Reverse Rotation Gear Drive Tiller

IronCraft UH Series: 72″ Heavy-Duty Reverse Rotation Gear Drive Tiller

The IronCraft UH-72-R is an industrial-grade 72-inch Heavy-Duty Rotary Tiller engineered for tractors between 45 and 60 horsepower. Built for the most demanding agricultural and commercial applications, this 6-foot tiller is specifically designed to cut through heavily compacted, “virgin,” or stony soils that would stall lighter implements.

The UH Series features a precision gear-drive system and is Category 1 and 2 Quick Hitch compatible. Its standout reverse rotation action pulls the tiller into the ground, preventing “walking” on hard surfaces and ensuring a deep, thoroughly pulverized seedbed in a single pass.

Industrial Performance & Reverse Tilling Features

• Reverse Rotation Action: The tines rotate against the direction of travel, effectively buried the tiller into the soil to eliminate bouncing and provide superior depth control in hard-pan conditions.
• Heavy-Duty Gear Drive: Unlike chain-drive models, the UH-72-R uses a rugged gear-driven side transmission for maximum power transfer and long-term durability under heavy loads.
• High-Density 48-Tine Rotor: Equipped with 48 total tines across 8 flanges (6 tines per flange) to ensure complete soil pulverization and aeration.
• Stony Soil Capability: Designed with a 19″ rotor swing diameter and 3-1/2″ rotor tube to withstand the impact of rocks and roots in challenging terrain.
