    • K
      Kelly FranklinSep 4, 2025
      If your Toro Tiller pulls to the left or right even when the levers are fully forward, it could be due to: * Incorrect tire pressure in the drive tires; adjust the tire pressure. * Tracking needing adjustment; adjust the traction-control linkage.

    How to fix Toro 23518 Tiller tines that do not raise?
    • S
      Steven NicholsonSep 18, 2025
      If the tines on your Toro Tiller aren't raising, it could be due to an auxiliary pump belt problem, so tension or replace the belt. Another potential cause is that the tine down pressure setting is too low, so increase the down pressure. Finally, add oil to the auxiliary reservoir if it is low.

    What causes a Toro Tiller engine to overheat?
    • T
      Troy LopezSep 12, 2025
      If your Toro Tiller engine is overheating, the engine load may be excessive; reduce the ground speed or aeration depth. Ensure that the oil level in the crankcase is adequate by adding oil if it's low. Also, check the cooling fins and air passages for the engine and remove any obstructions.

      Abnormal vibration in your Toro Tiller can stem from several sources. Start by inspecting the tines for any bending and replace if necessary. Ensure the tine mounting bolts and engine mounting bolts are tightened securely. Check for any loose engine pulley or idler pulley and tighten the appropriate pulley. Inspect the belts for damage and replace if needed. Finally, check the jackshaft drive chain tension, the drive wheel chain tension, and the tine drive chain.
