TILLING
The speed and depth of tilling is regulated by the position of
the depth stake and wheel height.
The depth stake should always be below the wheels for
digging. It serves as a brake to slow the tiller’s forward
motion to enable the tines to penetrate the ground. Also, the
more the depth stake is lowered into the ground the deeper
the tines will dig.
DEPTH STAKE (See Fig. 6)
Adjust depth stake by removing the hairpin dip and clevis
pin. Change depth stake to desired position. Replace the
clevis pin and hairpin clip,
