Tips for Tilling

Clean area of trash, branches and rocks before tilling
to prevent equipment damage.
Always begin tilling with the slowest ground speed
possible. Increase speed if conditions permit.
Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed)
when tilling.
Always engage the power take off (PTO) with tiller in
the raised position.
Till in long, straight passes. Do not make turns while
the tiller is in the ground, as equipment damage may
result.
A small center area will not be tilled due to the gear
case. Overlapping with a second pass will eliminate
this condition.
Avoid excessive tilling of the soil, as finely tilled soil
will not absorb moisture easily and puddles of water
or run-off may occur.
When tilling hard packed, very dry or virgin soil,
raise the tiller so only the very top of the soil is
penetrated. On succeeding passes the depth may be
lowered. This reduces the tiller's tendency to push the
tractor. If this happens, disengage the power take off
(PTO) and reduce forward speed.
Use low range (on the high–low range lever) for best
performance and smoothest operation.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
There may be buried power, gas, and/or
telephone lines in the area needing tilling.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Shock or explosion may occur.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Have the property or area to be tilled
marked for buried lines.
