Hintsfor Best Performance
Your power drive train is comprised of
a variable speed pulley with four
forward speeds, reverse, and a two
step, double chain, reduction to thetines.
The 1 Y4 inch tine shaft is supported by
two self-lubricating bronze bearings.
The 16 hardened tines will handle the
toughest of gardening tasks.
T en inch by 2.75 inch rib tread tires
support the back of the tiller. The rear
wheel height is adjustable for greater
versatility.
The forward and penetrating acti-;n
of the tiller is obtained from the
rotating action of the tines in the
soi I. The depth bar acts as a brake
for the tiller and controls the depth
and forward speed. By lowering the
setting of the depth bar. the forward
speed of the tiller is reduced and
the working depth of the tines is
increased. Raising the setting of the
depth bar increases the forward
speed and reduces the working
depth. When soil condition.s are
severe and several passes must be
made over a certain area the depth
bar setting should be lowered each
time a pass is made.
Further control of tilling depth and
travel speed can be obtained by
variation of pressure on the handle.
A downward pressure on the han-
dles will increase the working depth
and reduce the forward speed. An
upward pressure on the handles will
reduce the working depth and in-
crease the forward speed.
The type of soil and working con-
ditior-.s will determine the actual
setting of the depth bar and the
handle pressure required.
When tilling ground that has not been
tilled before, do not try to till to maxi-
mum depth in one pass. Set the depth
bar for half the depth you desire, then
reset the depth bar to full depth and go
over the tilled area the second time.
Till only when the soil is relatively dry
and crumbles easily. If the soil is too
wet when you till it will leave large
clods of soil rather than a good seed
bed.
