3.4.9. Tilling
Tilling is digging in, turning over and breaking up garden soil and prepare a seedbed for planting. Best tilling depth is 100mm
(4") to 150mm (6"). A tiller will also clear the soil of unwanted vegetation. The decomposition of this vegetation matter
enriches the soil.
Avoid tilling soil that is too dry as it will pulverize and produce a dust that will not hold water. Water a few days before tilling.
Also, tilling soil that is too wet will produce unsatisfactory clods. Wait a day or two after heavy rain for the soil to dry.
Better growth will be obtained if an area is tilled properly and used soon after tilling to preserve the moisture content.
The type of soil and working conditions will determine the actual setting of the tilling depth. In some soils, the desired depth
is reached first pass over garden. In other soils, the desired depth is obtained by going over the garden two or three times. In
later case, the depth regulator rod should be lowered before each succeeding pass over the garden. Passes should be made
across the length and width of the garden alternately. Do not try to dig too deeply in the first pass. If the machine jumps or
bucks, allow the unit to move forward at a lightly faster rate.
If the tiller stops forward motion and tries to dig in one spot, rock the handles from side to side to start it moving forward
again.
Rocks which are turned up should be removed from the garden area.
 Move the depth stake pin lever to the unlock position. Hold the depth stake limiter to pull the depth stake up for
increasing tilling depth. Place depth stake pin in the hole of the depth stake to lock in position at desired depth.
 Place shift lever indicator in counter rotating (
 Hold the drive control bar against the handle to start tilling movement. Tines and wheels will both turn.
 Move throttle control to "FAST" position for deep tilling. To cultivate, throttle control can be set at any desired
speed, depending on how fast or slow you wish to cultivate.
IMPORTANT: Always release drive control bar before moving shift lever into another position.
