TILLING PATTERNS
1. When preparing a seedbed, go over the same path twice in
the first row, then overlap one-half the machine width on each
successive pass (Figure 10).
2. After going up and down the rows in one direction, make
second passes at a right angle across the original passes
(Figure 11). Again, overlap each pass to thoroughly pulverize
the entire seedbed area. In very hard ground, it may take three
or four passes before the desired depth is achieved.
3. If your garden is not wide enough to till lengthwise and then
crosswise, then first overlap by one-half the machine width,
followed by successive passes at one-quarter machine width.
This overlapping method assures thorough tilling.
Figure 10: Use an overlap
technique on every pass.
Figure 11: Make a second set
of passes at a right angle over
the first set of passes.
Power Lawn Rake Attachment Model 12575
The Power Lawn Rake will help keep
your lawn healthy and vigorous.
Matted grass and debris not
only looks unattractive, but
stifles lawn growth and
overall health. This attach-
ment mounts without tools
and features dozens of
tempered steel fingers
that spring off the surface
to penetrate and loosen
matted grass without dis-
turbing root growth. An 18"-wide
swath covers a large lawn area quickly.
Lawn Aerator Attachment Model 12574
Helps promote healthy, dense lawns
by aerating and loosening the
soil to contribute to better root
growth. Four tempered steel
tines puncture the surface
of the lawn, letting nutri-
ents more easily reach the
roots. Assembles without
tools. When mounted, it
takes the place of the
standard tine sections.
