HIGH SPEED POWER
TILLER
Cutting a swath 120 inches
wide, and working at a speed
of 6 miles per hour behind an
80 horse power tractor, a
new power tiller being in
troduced by Howard
Rotavator Co. can provide
high speed one-pass
secondary tillage for
medium and large acreage
producers
Called the Rotaspike, this
new high speed Howard
tiller is equipped with a
spiked rotor which requires
less tractor power than a
bladed rotor, enabling it to
operate at greater widths
and higher speeds, even
when powered by medium
sized tractors.
The spikes of the new
Rotaspike are arranged at
two inch intervals in a scroll
pattern, replacing the
conventional rotary tillage
blades These spikes slice
into the soil and require less
power to propel, allowing a
wider unit to be used with
lower horsepower tractors.
In operation, the spikes
rotate, slice into the soil,
fracture the clods from the
chiseled soil, and break
them to the desired tilth The
result is a finely tilled, even
seedbed
Tillage depth goes down to
seven inches or more,
dependmg upon the soil
conditions, and is controlled
by twin depth control
wheels The Rotaspike can
also be used in conjunction
with an optional crumble
roller, which follows over the
tilled soil to give it a com
pletely even finish and a
desirable degree of con
solidation without packing

If working in particularly
sticky conditions every other
rod in the crumble roller
may be removed to prevent
clogging and produce the
same level finish as m dryer
conditions When the
Rotaspike is used with the
crumble roller, flat beds can
be worked with no joints or
wheel marks visible between
rounds.
The spikes on this new
implement are attached with
a single locking nut, which
makes them easy to remove
and replace When removed
at row intervals, and with
the depth adjusted to a
shallow level, the Rotaspike
is an ideal implement for
cultivating. Run at high
speeds with the shield
raised, most of the weeds are
left on the surface with roots
facing up to produce an ideal
kill method that can be
applied to inter-row
cultivation
Howard’s patented
“Selectatilth” gearbox
makes the unit suitable for
either 540 or 1000 rpm pto,
and provides varying rotor
speeds for different soil
conditions to acquire the
desired tilth. It will mount to
any Category I or II tractor
with 3-pomt linkage.
For complete operating
details and specifications on
the new Rotaspike, see your

inches - it chops while it
chisels and it chisels while it
chops. The dual function of
the implement allows the
operator to do two jobs at
one time.
The front gang of choppers
break, chop and pulverize
stalks or stubble. They are
followed by four rows of 32
inch high clearance chisel
shanks on 12 inch spacmgs
that rip into the soil breaking
the hardpan. Another gang
of choppers follow behind the
shanks to further chop the
stalk or stubble and in
corporate them into the soil.
Both gangs of choppers can
be removed so the machine
can be used just as a chisel
plow.
