Default Another roto-tiller question (wheel usage)


"Jon Danniken" wrote:

Hi, this should be my last roto-tiller question for the time being.

My front tine roto-tiller has wheels (behind the front tines), and it also
has a hinged stake thingy behind the wheels. The wheels have a mechanism
which allows them to easily be removed as an assembly.

When you roto-till, do you take the wheels off of yours and use the hinged
stake thingy for rear support? Or do you leave the wheels on and use the
stake at the same time?

Thanks for any help with this,


What brand tiller? Don't you have the owner's manual... you can probably
download a copy.

That stake thingie is a depth regulator adjustor, a stop of sorts, not meant
for accuracy but for approximate... it is not a support like a kickstand.
For deeper tilling adjust the arm higher, for shallower tilling adjust the
arm lower. Do NOT run unit with wheels removed.
