![RT Series Rotary Tillers helical-designed rotor](https://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/frontier/rotary_tillers/kf_helical_designed_rotor_275.jpg)
The helical-shaped rotor on the RT Series Rotary Tillers decreases horsepower required to drive units. They are designed so they enter the field at different times for more efficiency.

The working depth can be adjusted by the height of the skids, which is easily done with the adjustment bracket on the RT Series Rotary Tillers.
