What is a Easy Way to Load a Rototiller Into Back of Suv
- #2
Well you have a grab hook on your bucket so thats a start. Hook one end of your chain to your grab hook and take the other end and wrap it around the top link area of your tiller and grab as much metal up high on the top link as you can. You're going to have a ton of excess slack since you have a 15 foot chain. The chain will hold, the top link will hold and the grab hook will hold so you'll be fine.

If you don't trust grab hooks then you can just wrap the chain completely around the bucket, then through the top link area of the implement (with a top link pin installed), and lift it out.
You may want to have someone else on the ground to spot the removal of the implement from the truck bed to make sure it doesn't spin and bang around. He/She can just steady the implement as it is lifted.
Oh, and have something heavy on the back of the tractor as a counterweight.

Looks as though you have a receiver hitch bolted in the top of the bucket as well. you could also utilize it as a second anchor point as well. I would hook close to give you lift height, make slow movements to avoid various other ills like banging around or rapid rear wheel lifting. as noted before add an implement on rear to add counterweight against leverage. should be no problem at all, just keep fingers and hands clear.

Well done!
Sounds like you figured out some additional tricks all by yourself.
On to tilling - you will find it quite satisfying.

Okay, its off the truck and on my 3-point hitch. When we get a couple days of sun I'll be tilling.
I ran the chain through the upper link support of the tiller and then in the middle of the loader with the chain going through the middle two tube pieces and as taught as I could get it without being under load.
I used a piece of rope on either end with about 6" of slack to keep the tiller from twisting and keep its long axis roughly alighned with my truck bed.
I then lifted the bucket about 18" until the tiller had a few inches of clearance to all parts of the truck bed and then just dropped the tailgate and drove the truck out from under it. Then set the tiller on the driveway. Detached and stowed the rotary cutter and then came back and hooked up the tiller to the hitch where it is now
Can't think of a better way; driving out from under something is often a really good idea with a smaller tractor especially. No use of taking the chance of dropping it on your truck, tipping over etc; well done.
Things "come naturally" to many of us after doing it wrong once or twice.

Of course I guess we could have done this the really quick way, Dynamite!!!!
Glad it worked out for you, safely.

Dang - good idea! I wouldn't have thought of that until AFTER I banged the heck out of my truck. Guess this ol' dawg just learned a new trick .
Well done.

You mention having a 15-ft chain. Surprised that with a loader you haven't experienced having 'too much' chain before now.
Make a snatch-hook: get two known-brand quality grab hooks to fit your chain size; one hook has a 'female' twin-hole yoke or clevis, the other hook has a 'male' single eye; insert the male between the ears of the female hook yoke; bolt the two hooks together using a Grade-8 bolt sized to fit the holes in the ends of the hooks; peen or tackweld the nut. Hooks should swivel. You can orient the hooks facing same direction or opposite each other.
Now you can take up the slack in your chain safely.
A photo of what you described would help. Thanks.

Ahhh...got it now. Thanks.
Used to temporarily shorten chain like a mini, non-tightening load binder.
