TINE REPLACEMENT

New Tine

CAUTION: Tines are sharp. Wear

Worn Tine

gloves or other protection when handling

 

tines.

 

A badly worn tine causes your tiller to

 

work harder and dig more shallow. Most

 

important, worn tines cannot chop and

 

shred organic matter as effectively nor

 

bury it as deeply as good tines. A tine this

 

worn needs to be replaced.
