TILLING
The speed and depth of tilling is reg u lat ed
by the position of the depth stake and
wheel height.
The depth stake should always be be low

brake to slow the tiller’s forward mo tion 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.
