Soil conditions are
important
for
proper
tilling-
Tines
will not
readily
penetrate
dry hard soil which may contribute to ex-
cessive bounce and difficult handling of
your
tiller. Hard soil
should
be moistened before tilling: howevel, extremely
wet
soil vill
'ball-up'
or clump during tilling. Wait
until the soil is
less wet in order
to achieve the best results.
For
easier handling of
your
tiller:
leave
about
8' of untilled
soil between
the
first
and second tilling
passes.
The
third
pass
will be between the first then
second and etc.
(fig.
11).
Do not lean on the
handle. This takes weight off the
wheels
and reduces traction. To
get
through
a really tough secfion
of sod or hard
ground,
apply upward
pressure
on handle
or
bwer the depth stake.
