Got this in as part of a package deal a while back. The engine was junk.Had an engine from a tiller that had a bad gear box. Put one with the other and I have me a nice (free) chipper. :P

That is a great attachment, Nice job dOd

Rotto Hoes were very well built, cool machines. My buddy had one many yrs ago that was a Tiller mounted to a self propelled Chipper..? It was like a tractor with a tiller/chipper combo. (poor memory recall)So long ago, there must be old pics around??

That looks like a sturdy unit. Not mostly plastic like many of the ones built today. Good job!

I also have 1 of these babies. I just had to rebuild the hammer drum. Good thing for laser cutters at work. We cranked out new "hammers" and I bought O1 drill rod for the shafts. Works like a champ now.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
