My grey market 7000D came with a Kubota tiller. When I got it hitched up I saw that I only had 6" between the PTO shafts (see photo). Is there a connector/clutch that small? How in the heck do you hook this system up? TIA

There's been a couple of threads on this, I think in the gray market section, recently. Yes you can cut down a standard drive shaft real short, to make it fit...:D

A tiller doesent have the inertia like a mower, as the tiller is in contact with the ground so it stops quickly. Better off with the short pto shaft.
