RTXD Series Orchard Profiling Rotary Tiller (Gear Drive)

The RTXD Series is a specialised, gear‑driven rotary tiller designed for orchard and vineyard floor management. It features a profiling (contour‑following) design that allows the tiller to closely follow the soil surface, ensuring consistent working depth even on uneven ground or slopes. Operating at a standard 540 rpm PTO, the gear drive transmission provides reliable, maintenance‑free power transfer to the blade shaft. Working widths range from 1520 mm to 2016 mm, matched to tractors from 50 HP to 85 HP. Blade counts (36–48 C‑shaped or L‑shaped blades) produce a fine, well‑pulverised seedbed, while the working depth is adjustable from 100–200 mm. With weights from 500 kg to 650 kg, the RTXD series is robust enough for tough orchard soils yet compact enough to manoeuvre between tree rows. Perfect for fruit growers, vineyard managers, and olive grove operators who need clean, weed‑free soil without damaging trees or roots.

Available models: RTXD160 (1.52 m), RTXD185 (1.77 m), RTXD210 (2.02 m) .

◆ Product Features

• Orchard‑optimised profiling design
  The tiller follows the soil contour – maintains consistent depth on uneven, undulating orchard floors.
  Reduces the risk of scalping high spots or missing low areas.

• Gear drive – reliable and low maintenance
  Enclosed oil‑bath bevel gearbox – no chain tensioning.
  Longer service life in dusty, debris‑laden orchard conditions.

• Wide working widths for efficient orchard tillage
  1.52 m, 1.77 m, or 2.02 m – cover more ground between tree rows.
  Matched to tractors from 50 HP to 85 HP.

• High blade density for fine soil preparation
  Blade count: 36 to 48 C‑shaped or L‑shaped blades.
  Produces a level, well‑pulverised tilth for weed control and moisture conservation.

• Adjustable working depth
  Depth range: 100–200 mm (4–8 inches) – suitable for light to medium tillage in orchards.
  Depth control via rear roller or side plates.

• Compact, manoeuvrable design
  Narrow enough to work between mature tree rows.
  Mounted (3‑point hitch) – quick attachment and easy transport.

• Robust construction for long life
  Weight: 500–650 kg – stable operation even in stony or root‑infested soils.
  Reinforced gearbox housing and side plates.

◆ Scope of Application

1. Orchard floor management – apples, pears, citrus, olives, nuts, and stone fruits

2. Vineyard inter‑row tillage – weed control and soil aeration without vine damage

3. Blueberry, raspberry, and other berry plantations – shallow tillage between rows

4. Soil renovation in tree nurseries and young orchards

5. Cover crop incorporation and green manure termination in permanent crops

6. Organic orchards – non‑chemical weed control
