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'sforward 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.

stake to desired, position. Replace the cle- vis pin and hairpin clip.
•For normal tilling, set depth stake at the second or third hole from the top.
