DESCRIPTION
FUNCTION OF USE
The machine, thanks to the large range of types, carries out all the function related with tools rotation in
various work environment (open field, vineyards, orchards, flower gardens, parks, vegetable gardens), in all
type of ground whatever its composition (sandy soil, medium mixture, clay) and consistency (crumbly, hard,
semi-plastic) may be.
The use of a technical constructive concept trended to the search of high performances, reduction of troubles
and durability, improves the power/consumption ratio of the tractor thanks to the elasticity of the machine
frame, to the tools shape and to many original technical solutions.
PERFORMANCES
The machine is connected to the tractor with a three points hitch that gives the motion of translation and with
a PTO shaft connected with the tractor PTO that gives the motion of rotation to the hoes shaft.
The working width is fix and it's determined from the choice of the machine type.
The working depth is adjustable.
The rear baffle besides prevents a dangerous hurling of stones and other foreign bodies, makes a clod
mincing function the more emphasized the more the baffle is closed.
PERFORMANCES LIMITS
 Maximum forwarding speed: 3 m.p.h.
 Speeds greater than the maximum can compromise the condition of the machine, the quality of the work
and the safety of the operator.
 Maximum power applicable to the gear box: from 11 to 26 Kw  5% with 540 r.p.m.
 Superior power to which is indicated can damage irreparably the transmission gear box; especially during
heavy works.
 Max working depth: from 6 to 7 inches.
STANDARD EQUIPMENT
- Standard PTO shaft.
VARIANTS & OPTIONS
- Bolt PTO shaft.
- Clutch PTO shaft.
- Front safety protection.

connection triangle vertex), insert the pin and lock with safety pin.
d) With the machine raised, go to work area.
e) Connect the tractor PTO with machine PTO.
f) Check that PTO chain is locked to prevent the protection sheet of PTO rotating.
TO BEGINNING WORK
a) Keep people and animals at least 65 feet radius all around the machine.
b) Pull down the machine until the hoes touch the ground.
c) Connect PTO power and gradually bring it to 540 r.p.m..
d) Pull down completely the machine and start to work.
AT THE END OF WORK
a) Stop the tractor.
b) Raise the machine until the hoes goes out from ground.
c) Disconnect PTO power.
d) Disconnect tractor PTO from machine PTO.
e) Raise completely the machine.

REVERSE SET-UP
To set-up COUNTRY as Reverse rotary tiller operate as follow:
a) Disassemble from the deck the upper linkage “UL”, the right and left lower linkages “LL”, the rear tail “RT
taking out the 2 stopper “RTS”, the chain holder “CS” and the gear box “GB”.
b) Turn 180 degree the gear box “GB”, to make this operation is enough to rise a little the gear box from the
deck before turning, fix again the gear box on the deck.
c) Assemble again the rear tail “RT” using the 2 stopper “RTS” and the chain holder “CS” on the opposite
side of the deck.
d) Assemble again the upper linkage “UL” and the right and left lower linkage “LL” on the opposite side of
the deck
