Help! Would someone please explain the difference between the two descriptions seen below, both taken from LandPride's website description of their RTR 12xx series tillers?
"HITCH SIDESHIFT CAPABILITIES Sideshift tiller to cover right tire track. Gearbox slides with tiller." and
"OFFSET CAPABILITIES Allows tiller to work closer to objects such as fence lines, buildings and trees."
I do not understand the difference. Plus...
I just came home from a Farm Show where the LandPride Dealer showed me a RTR1266 tiller, and showed me how the gearbox was FIXED in position, it did not 'slide', there was no shaft to slide on, and no, this unit does NOT offset so as to cover tire tracks said the Dealer. Saw it with my own 2 eyes.
To confuse matters more, every image of these LP RTR12xx tillers I can find, shows a shaft that the gearbox DOES slide back and forth on!
Is Land Pride now manufacturing them different, and the web site and online images just have not caught up? thanks
