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 effi ciency. 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 fi rst 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.
