Hello, I have a front tine rototiller with a reverse function, and I am
wondering when the reverse would be useful.

My guess would be if the tines got caught up in roots or whatnot.

Also, would you consider a reverse function to be an essential feature of a
rototiller?

Thanks for any insight into this,

Jon

I don't have this feature on my Honda 110 mini-tiller. Reverse is
useful to get out of a corner, especially for the larger tillers.

Well, if the tines get caught, I suggest you stop the tiller
immediately and remove the entanglement--reverse function or not, to
prevent breaking a pin.

Not at all.

Thanks Phisherman, I hadn't thought of the corners. I can see a reverse
switch handy in such a situation.

Thanks,

A friend of mine played one of his old country music 33's in reverse.
Got back his wife, his dog, his pick-up, ...........

I liked the reverse in the tiller I used. Besides turning around in
tight spots,when I hit a rock or a hard clump, the reverse allowed me
to back up and straighten out the row.

Ah, thanks Kate, I hadn't thought of that. Much appreciated!
