SECTION IV - OPERATION
TILLING
The International Tiller is equipped with a set of rear wheels. These wheels are designed only for
transporting the tiller to and from the tilling area. They should never be used during the tilling process.
When tilling, the wheels should be removed or rotated into the up position and the drag bar should be
set to till at the desired depth. The drag bar acts as an anchor which forces the tiller to dig rather than
walk over the area to be tilled and controls the forward motion of the tiller. By adjusting the downward
pressure on the handlebars, the operator controls the drag bar depth and the tiller will perform properly
with a minimum of assistance.
The International Tiller is equipped with two sets of tines to provide tilling widths of 14” and 26”. A
third op
tional tine extension is available to provide for a maximum tilling width of 37”. If using the
optional tine extensions, install the tine tube, tine extension, and the outside tine per the drawing
below. In extreme soil conditions, the recommended tillin
g width is 26”. When adding and removing
tines, it is important to make sure all tines have the sharpened edge facing forward, in the tilling
direction.
When adding or removing tines, align all required holes per the diagram below and secure with clevis
pins and hair cotter springs. Point “D” attaches to the tiller transmission drive shaft.
