The name-plate on the cover gives the number of teeth of the gear pair originally installed by the Manufac-
turer, furthermore, as on page 4 of this handbook, there are the speeds pertainig to the pairs of gears
monuted on purchase, plus of the spare pairs.
Each rotary cultivator with gear change has a label which indicates the gear couple mounted as first
equipment. The label is attached to the third-point.
CAUTION: Be very careful and ensure to use the right gears, since some gear pairs can-
not be inverted, and gears from different pairs cannot be interchanged. Strictly comply
whith the pairs of gears indicated, in the chart on page 4.
Optimum tilling depends on two factors:
1) Forward speed of the tractor.
2) Rotation speed of the blade-carrying rotor.
The faster the rotor rotates, the more chopped up the soil will be.

Tilling tips
Before You till:
• Pick up rocks and foreign objects.
• Mow tall weeds and grass to keep them from wrapping around tines or tine shaft.
• Check tines. Loose, bent, broken, or missing tines reduce operating efficiency. If necessary, replace
tines.
Test the soil by squeezing it in your hand. If soil forms a ball, it is too wet to till. If soil does not compress
easily or falls apart, it is ready to till.
DO NOT till when soil is wet. Wet soil will stick to the tines and tine shaft. Wet soil will also dry out and
become hard, making it hard to work with during the growing season.
During tilling
CAUTION: Never lower tiller into the ground while the tractor is turning.
• DO NOT back up or make sharp turn with tiller in ground.
• Move PTO switch lever to ON when tiller is out of the ground. Move tractor forward and lower tiller into
the ground.
• When you till hard ground or sod, till at a shallow depth on first pass. Increase depth on each pass.
• When tilling on a hillside:
- Work up the the slope, if possible.
- If lateral work cannot be avoided, work from the top to the bottom in order to limit any terracing effect.
