OPERATION  
 
TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER   
 
The Buhler Farm King 45 Series Rotary Tiller is a machine that combines the primary 
and secondary tillage operation into one machine.  It breaks up the soil and prepares 
the seed bed in one pass.  Rotational power to the rotor is provided by the tractor PTO.  
Be familiar with the machine before starting. 
 
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to read this manual and to train all 
other operators before they start working with the machine.  Follow all safety 
instructions exactly.  Safety is everyone's business.  By following recommended 
procedures, a safe working environment is provided for the operator, bystanders 
and the area around the work site.  Untrained operators are not qualified to 
operate the machine. 
 
Many features incorporated into this machine are the result of suggestions made by 
customers like you.  Read this manual carefully to learn how to operate the machine 
safely and how to set it to provide maximum field efficiency.  By following the operating 
instructions in conjunction with a good maintenance program, your Tiller will provide 
many years of trouble-free service. 
 
MACHINE COMPONENTS  
 
The Buhler Farm King 45 Series Rotary Tiller consists of a rotating drum that is 
equipped with bent blades for breaking up and leveling soil.  The blades are turned 
through the soil while the machine moves over the working area.  A Drag Shield is used 
to maintain a level seedbed. Rotational power to the drum is provided by the PTO on 
the tractor.  The power is transmitted through the gearbox in the center of the machine 
to the chain drive down the side.  The A-frame can be moved to offset the machine.
