TiLLiNG TIPS & TECHNIQUES
Beforetilling,contactyourtelephoneor utilitiescompanyandinquire

[till nearburiedelectriccables,telephonelines,pipesor hoses.
Tilling Depth
o Thisisa FRT(forward-rotatingfine) tiller.Whenthe forwardtine
engagementleveris pressedagainstthehandlethe tinesrotate
forward.Thiscreatesan "uppercut"fine actionwhichdigsdeeply,
uprootingsoiland weeds.Don'toverloadtheengine,butdigas
deeplyas possibleon eachpass.
Whencultivating(breakingupthesurfacesoilaroundthe plants
todestroyweeds,SeeFigure18),try to havethetinesonlydig1"
