For shallow tilling, drop the roller to its lowest position
by putting the locking rod into the highest hole of the
adjustment bar. For deeper tilling, continue to raise the
roller by using lower holes in the adjustment bar. The
lowest hole (highest setting) is used for transporting the
tiller.
Using the Rear Tine Shield
The rear tine shield that was shipped separately with
the tiller assembly must be in place whenever the tiller
is being used without the roller.
To install the rear tine shield:
• Remove the roller assembly completely by
removing the two bolts that attach it to the tiller
frame and disconnecting it from the adjustment bar.
• Remove the long rod that holds the shorter tine
shield that is used with the roller.
• In place of the shorter tine shield just removed,
install the larger tine shield using the existing
hardware.
Figure 18
Figure 18 shows the larger rear tine shield in place with
the adjustment chain holding the tine shield in a
maintenance position. When operating the tiller, adjust
the chain so the rear tine shield touches the ground.
Doing this will help to prevent objects from being thrown
away from the working tines.
Operating Tips
For best results while tilling, always till the area at least
twice. Always till at right angles as shown in Figure 19.
Turning
The tiller attachment was intended to be used in a
straight line only. Very slight turns while tilling can be
achieved by traveling at a slower ground speed, but
sharp turns during tilling can put excess stress on the
frame of the tiller and tractor and will cause the
equipment to shake and vibrate excessively.
Figure 19
Clearance
The left hand side of the tiller attachment lines up
evenly with the left hand tires of the tractor. To get
nearest to an object while tilling, line the object up just
to the left side of the tractor.
The tiller attachment makes the tractor noticeably
longer. Be careful in turns to watch the rear end
clearance of the tiller attachment. In a tight turn, the
tiller sticks out and may strike an object that the tractor
itself normally would not.
Wet Soil
Tilling soil that is wet will result in the formation of large
clumps of soil that will dry solid. The potential to get the
tractor stuck while tilling is increased substantially while
tilling wet soil. If the tractor begins spinning its wheels in
this situation, shut the PTO off on the tractor, raise the
tiller out of the ground, and attempt to drive out of the
area. Resume tilling after the ground has dried.
Cub Cadet offers an optional set of agricultural tires that
