Before you buy
- John Deere 3046R is compact class — most property rotary tiller sheets target Category I; verify Limited Cat I or sub-compact callouts separately.
- Verified hitch: Category I. Implements must name that class explicitly — adapters do not add lift.
- Verified PTO rating: 33.9 PTO HP. Size PTO implements from this number — not from engine HP.
- Catalog rear lift: 2,194 lb @ 24″. Heavier rotary tiller tools need headroom over shipping weight (we screen with ~20% margin).
- 14 curated class(es) clear on paper — still confirm serial-year OEM sheets and ballast.
- Next step: open the Fit checker with John Deere 3046R and a specific rotary tiller model, or read the fit guide for this implement type.
What Fit checks for this implement type
Rotary tillers dig with PTO power and hang on the three-point. Size from shaft horsepower, hitch category, and lift — soil type and tilling depth still live in the operator’s manual.
What usually fails first
PTO minimums and rear lift headroom trip more buyers than hitch pins. Narrower tillers clear sub-compacts more often; wide garden tillers want compact or utility frames.
How to use this hub
Compare curated tiller rows, then run Fit against your tractor. Confirm PTO RPM (usually 540) and serial-year options before you buy.
