Soil conditions readily penetrate are important for proper tilling, Tines will not dry, hard soil which may contribute to excessive bounce and difficult should be moistened before handling tilling_ of your Tiller,,

In extremely

Hard wet soil conditions, the soil will "ball up" or clump during tilling, Wait um til the soil is less wet in order to achieve the best results,

When tilling in the fall, remove vines and long grass to prevent them from wrapping around the tine shaft and slowing your tilling operation.,

For easier handling of your tiller, leave approximately of untilled soil between the 1st and 2nd tilling

8 inches passes, The 3rd pass will be between the 1st and 2nd (Fig 18)

A badly worn Tine causes your Tiller to work harder and dig shallower.. Most important, worn Tines cannot chop and shred organic matter as effectively nor' bury it as deeply as good

Tines.. A tine this worn (Fig. 20) needs to be replaced,

To maintain the superb tilling performance of this machir, e the Tines should be checked for sharpness, wear and bending particularly the Tines which are next to the Tine Transmission

(Fig, 21), If the gap between the Tines exceeds 31/2", they should be repiaced or-straightened as necessary,
