IronCraft UM Series: 60″ Medium-Duty Gear-Drive Rotary Tiller

The IronCraft UM-56 is a professional-grade 60-inch Medium-Duty Rotary Tiller engineered for tractors between 25 and 50 PTO HP. This gear-driven powerhouse is specifically designed to handle demanding soil conditions, making it the premier choice for vineyards, orchards, and small-to-mid-sized commercial farms.
