After finishing with my HR10 60-inch project (625 lbs.) I decided to go on a weight diet over two hundred pounds lighter to a HR12-50 (418 lbs.) and a lot more stable for my BX. It's a Gear drive, reverse rotation rotor which will help with its lighter weight. The one option this unite has available and it has it, going by the tine ware I'd come to this decision.
Just need a new PTO shaft(ordered) and tines. Previous owner decided it was ok to remove three tines off one, So here's my sharing.
Is it standard for gear drive Rotavators/rototillers to have a cast gear cover?
