TILLING
The speed
and depth
of tilling
is regulated
by the position
of the depth
stake
and
wheel
height.
The depth
stake
should
always
be below
the wheels
for digging.
It serves
as a
brake
to slow the tiller's
forward
motion
to
enable
the tines to penetrate
the ground.
Also, the more the depth
stake
is lowered
into the ground
the deeper
the tines will
dig.

the hairpin
clip and clevis
pin.
