tiller - first or second hole?

[Tom Deutsch 0]

I have a 917 (7117) with hydraulic lift and a 36" tiller. The receiver (the part that lifts) has two holes in it -- one closer to the tractor than the other. When I put the male part from the tiller into the female part on the tractor, which hole should I be using for the pin? Would I get a deeper till/higher lift if I use one or the other? Or does it just change the angle of the tiller to the ground? Right now I'm using the outermost hole because otherwise my belt wouldn't be tight enough to engage -- but I'm assuming I could adjust for that if I wanted to insert the tiller mount further and use the inner hole for some reason. Why are there two holes and should I care? Thanks!

Tom, I can't answer your question from the factory perspective. My philosophy is, "if it works, then don't worry about it". I don't have an operable tiller yet, but I have one that I am going to rig up on my own. Won't be any instructions for that one, unless I write them.

All the receivers I've seen only had a single hole and it was close to the pivoting end of the receiver.

my comment is the same as Carl's. Maybe some one added a second hole.

Mine has 2 holes also. I find the one that puts the most tention on the belt is best.
