Kubota Tiller Parts — Browse All Models

Understanding the differences between front-tine and rear-tine tillers helps you choose the right parts and service approach. Each tiller type has distinct performance characteristics and repair needs.

These tillers have tines mounted in front of the wheels. They’re lighter and easier to maneuver in tight garden spaces.

• Tines pull the tiller forward, requiring more user control
• Good for loosening soil and prepping small garden plots
• Often easier to transport and store

Rear-tine models have tines behind the wheels and are built for power and stability.

• Wheels drive the tiller forward, allowing deeper and more consistent tilling
• Designed for breaking new ground and working larger areas
• Heavier, but easier to manage in compacted soil

Over time, essential tiller components wear out from regular use. Replacing these parts can restore tilling performance and prevent mechanical failures.

Tines wear down or bend over time, making tilling less effective.
