Operating Parameters

The DR ROTO-HOG POWER TILLER is designed to be used with most ATVs, Lawn\Garden Tractors, and Compact Tractors. The DR ROTO-HOG POWER TILLER should never be used with a Truck (2WD or 4WD). Use of a Truck will void the DR ROTO-HOG POWER TILLER Warranty.

Operating Procedures

There are three (3) applications for the DR ROTO-HOG POWER TILLER: Garden Tilling, Sod Busting, and small Food Plot installation.

Gardens:

1.Check the area for large stones and foreign objects that could snag or wedge into the tines.

2.Perform a soil test to assess needs for soil treatment.

Tip: If a soil test indicates amendments necessary (lime, fertilizers, sulfur, etc) then apply before tilling to best integrate it into the soil. You can apply amendment with the Optional Spreader and incorporate it with the Tiller.

3.Check wetness in the soil to determine if clumping will require slower Tow Vehicle speeds.

Food Plot Installation and Sod Busting:

1.Clear the work area of objects such as glass, large sticks and stones, roots, metal objects, wire, rope, and string-like materials.

2.Cut all vegetation to the lowest possible height.

3.Remove the cut vegetation by either rake, vacuum, blowing OR allow it to dry several days and re-cut.

FAILURE TO REMOVE LONG VEGETATION WILL RESULT IN FREQUENT STALLING OF THE ENGINE.

NOTE: For information on ordering the optional equipment, call Country Home Products at:

4.Refer to seed specifications to determine the optimal depth of tillage necessary.

5.With initial pass, begin breaking only the top inch of soil to breakup sod.

6.Break the soil thoroughly across the entire area. See “Tilling Tips” on the next page.

7.Gradually lower the Tines 1-2 inches and repeat step 6 until you are satisfied with the tillage created.

8.Using the Optional Spreader, apply seed at a rate specified by the seed manufacturer.
