How to install a hiller on a tiller?
Installing and setting up a tiller for potatoes to a tiller is not a very complicated procedure. It is attached to the hitch with bolts and washers. When working with a simple hiller, you need to adjust its angle of work and the depth of immersion in the ground. The plowing depth in the hiller is less than in the plow, so you do not need to set the tiller on a hill for adjustment. Just adjust the hiller stand vertically. The required angle of attack is determined by how deep the hiller enters the ground in the working position. This depth should be about 15 cm.
If in the process of work you notice that the hiller is deeply buried in the ground, tilt the stand forward. Otherwise, if the hiller deepens not enough, the stand, on the contrary, is tilted back.
Setting up and installing the disc hiller is a little more complicated. First you need to set the distance between the lower points of the hiller discs. It will be 40-70 cm, suspension from the upcoming work. Next, the angle of inclination of the disks is set to the horizontal axis.
The settings of both disks must be identical, otherwise the tiller can skid to the side.
Customization
Setting up a hiller on a tiller, like all the features of the operation of this device, is described in detail in any manual for summer residents, and it is not difficult to master them even for a beginner. However, there are always nuances that cannot be foreseen on paper. First of all, individual adjustment is necessary because each individual case has its own volume of factors, soil characteristics, weather, design and quality of sharpening of the working parts of the device, and so on.
Not the last role is played by the technical characteristics of the unit itself. Therefore, before the first trip to the beds, it makes sense to test the device on virgin soil with the same soil characteristics. Making such test passes, it is possible to perceptibly the peculiarities of the “behavior” of the technique, to work out the angle of inclination, adjust the depth, speed of movement.

Which hiller is best for a tiller?
It is difficult to answer this question unequivocally, because each owner of tillers has different preferences and working conditions. Consider all available types and their characteristics.
Propeller (rotary)
An improved version of the disk. Suitable for tillers of higher power. Hilling with a tiller with such an implement allows you to simultaneously loosen the soil and destroy weeds.
Instructions for hilling potatoes
Three hilling operations are required throughout the season. This process consists in adding soil to the potato stalk. This is done to provide additional oxygen to root crops, and at the same time to eliminate weeds. In addition, hilling prevents tubers from freezing when the air temperature drops significantly and accelerates their growth.
The first hilling is carried out when the plants reach a height of 15 centimeters (in the middle lane this is about mid-May). The height of the poured soil layer does not have to exceed 10 centimeters, otherwise the development of tubers will be difficult.
Re-hilling is carried out when the plants reach a height of 20-25 cm, that is, approximately one and a half to two weeks after the first hilling.
The third time, these works are carried out in another one and a half to two weeks, but the height of the poured soil should be as large as possible. Note that some owners of personal plots DO NOT perform the third hilling, nevertheless, it must be done. In order to learn more about hilling potatoes with a tiller, see.
Device and principle of operation
The device itself is a metal wedge equipped with wings or rotating discs mounted on a frame. The potato ridgers are attached to the tiller by means of the fasteners provided for this. First of all, the device allows planting potatoes with a tiller with minimal effort.
Due to the fact that when passing in one direction, a furrow is laid, and in the opposite direction, it is evenly filled up to the height required for these crops, planting is significantly easier. As required, the same equipment helps to loosen, huddle and destroy weeds.
In this, we will consider hilling potatoes with a tiller:
What are the hillers
There are several types of equipment for hilling potatoes. They differ in design and operating principles. To determine which hiller is better for a tiller, consider the most common constructions.
Lister
This is the simplest design, and does not involve adjusting the hiller on the tiller. The width of the furrow is fixed. The device consists of two wings connected at an angle and slightly apart. Usually, ready-made devices of this type have a working width of 25-30 cm, which is why they are not very popular among users. often, land owners who choose this design make it on their own, but taking into account the peculiarities of potato growing technology, which requires a distance of 50-60 cm between rows.
The working part of the device is mounted on thin racks, which reduces the load on the unit when immersed in the ground. In addition, the device is often assembled from wedges that are NOT straight, but concave in shape. this prevents excessive everting and drying out of the earth.
Types of potato hillers for tiller: how to make and customize with your own hands?
It is not difficult to make a disk hiller for a tiller with your own hands. It is a multifunctional device that helps to change soil conditions, make furrows and form ridges when hilling potatoes or other vegetable crops.
How to set up a double-row hiller on a tiller: ways to install and adjust a hiller
When installing and adjusting the hiller on the tiller, it is necessary to correctly orient it so that it is directed parallel to the mowing line of the beds in the garden, with the optimal angle of attack and furrow width. Then the furrow produced by the tiller hiller will be the deepest and most symmetrical: the right and left ridge of the soil will be the same in shape. Therefore, adjustable hillers have several levels of adjustment. To adjust the angle of attack, there is a screw adjustment (in the photo there is a handle with a black knob) that tilts the entire frame of the double-row hiller in relation to the tiller, thereby changing the angle of attack of the hiller. This indirectly affects the hilling depth, while the main adjustment of the hilling depth is carried out when installing the hiller by means of the mounting holes drilled in the hiller stand. Two bolts on the bracket for attaching the stand to the tiller hiller to the frame allow the hiller to be returned to the left and right, adjusting the parallelism of the hiller to each other, and the initial installation of the brackets themselves allows you to adjust the width between the furrows. Well, in addition, if adjustable sliding hillers are installed, it is possible to adjust the width of the furrow produced and the height of the ridge raked by the ground by expanding or narrowing the plowshares.

Design and principle of operation
The working part of the mechanism has two convex metal discs with well-sharpened edges. In turn, the discs are fixed to stands attached to a metal frame.
Moving, the discs with a sharp edge cut and crush the earth. Due to the peculiar shape of the discs, an earthen ridge is automatically formed when driving.
This mechanism allows you to adjust the distance between the discs, adjusting the potato grower to perform work on row spacings of different widths. In the disc device, you can adjust the distance between the discs, the depth of loosening and the amount of soil from which the earth mound is formed.
Attention! Disc mechanisms can be used with less powerful tillers than lister.
Types of hillers
Depending on the degree of automation, a distinction is made between manual and automated mechanisms. With the help of automated hillers, you can hilling potatoes with a tiller, a tractor, a mini tractor.
By functionality, active and passive devices are distinguished. Passive. intended only for hilling. With the help of active devices, planting, weeding and even harvesting are additionally automated. Active. usually additionally equipped with a rotor.
Depending on the design, there are:
- Plow or lister mechanisms;
- Disc potato buckets;
- Propeller devices.
Step 1 Vertical adjustment
In this step, the stroke depth is adjusted. A correctly adjusted stroke allows the share to be buried to the required plowing depth. To adjust the rack, move the lock. In order to be able to move and fix the rack in the desired position, several holes are drilled in the rack itself. Once the plow is at the desired height, this position is fixed with a bolt connection. If there is only one hole in the rack, then the height of this hiller is NOT adjustable.
Design
The main element, which cuts the ground and moves it to the potato row, is called a plow or ploughshare.
It consists of two metal plates or ears, welded on one side and connected with metal strips on the other. From the lower narrow side, a cutting part or a nose is welded to them.
The ploughshare is fixed to the stand, which, in turn, is attached to the bracket designed to connect the tiller and the hiller.
A single-row hiller can be purchased on the market. To speed up the processing of the site, you can double the plows on one hitch.
The more plowshares are installed on the mechanism, the more powerful the cultivator needs to be used for work. Also a more powerful tiller or cultivator will be needed when using a custom potato picker.
Setting up the tiller correctly
Hilling is done by single-row, double-row or three-row devices.
To work with a hiller, ordinary wheels are removed in the tiller and lugs are installed, and only after that the device is attached.
Lugs are designed to make the mechanism heavier and improve its adhesion to the soil. On the market, you can purchase both universal devices and devices made for a specific model. For the most common models of Neva and Salyut tillers, the lug width is 43 and 50 cm, respectively, and the stud length is 15 and 20 cm.
The distance between the lugs for a single-row hiller should be minimal, since both wheels move in one row spacing.
On the ground! The hitch must NOT be rigid. It is attached to one kingpin. Backlash in the horizontal plane should be about 5-6 °.
Do not install the hitch on two pivots, as in this case a rigid connection is obtained. Also, a rigid coupling between the hiller and the tiller is obtained if the backlash is removed. On the garden plot, there are always areas with denser soil. If the hiller falls on such a site, then the tiller turns around a little. With a non-rigid connection, the force that the solid soil exerts, and is not transmitted to the handles (the hitch plays out the force), and the tiller goes straight, although the hiller itself wags a little at the same time. With this connection, the row turns out to be more even, and the worker spends much less effort.
Setting up the disk fixture
The adjustment is carried out in two stages:
- Stage 1 consists in setting the distance between the lower points of the disks. Usually it is 40-70 cm, depending on the size of the ridge;
- Stage 2. regulation of the angle of attack, or the angle of rotation of the discs, along their horizontal axis. Here the set angle of attack depends on the amount of earth that is raked by the discs onto the hill. Performed by special screw adjustment.
Attention! For correct operation of the hiller, its discs must be adjusted symmetrically to each other.
Stage 3 Adjusting the ploughshare verticality
Working structures must be located so that their plow is perpendicular to the ground.
