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,

Jon



I hope you have a manual for your tiller. The wheels are only to make
it easy to get your machine from storage to/from the work site. The
stake is usually adjustable and allows deep or shallow tilling. Take
extra care about not losing the locking pin, maybe paint it red.

Actually those are drive wheels and free wheelers... engaged/disengaged by a
device at each hub. You do not want to forget to engage those wheels before
starting up the engine and engaging the tiller.

The stake is usually adjustable and allows deep or shallow tilling.

The stake is always adjustable, otherwise it would be useless.

red.

First few times you pull/push the pin through the hole the paint will be
gone. It's much better to attach the pin to the machine with a cable
lanyard... drill a small hole through the end of the pin and attach a split
ring... otherwise when the pin falls out you'll never know until later and
you won't find it in freshly tilled earth no matter what color. Usually
there is already a split ring with that pin but it still needs to be
fastened to the machine with a cable lanyard.

Tillers don't have a kill device like a push mower, the tines will stop but
the tiller motor will still run when you walk away... don't ever take your
hand off the steering handle with the motor running and never attempt any
adjustments/repairs with the motor running unless the tine assembly is first
removed... the tine engagement lever is small and easily bumped. Some
idiots attempt to hose off the machine while the motor is running, a great
way to lose body parts. Whenever putting the tiller in reverse never stand
directly behind the machine.

Have you actually seen the OP's tiller? Not everyone has the same
tiller as you.

Wrong. Careful of your use of "always" unless you have seen every
tiller.

gone.

Wrong again. Paint the head of the pin.

Sorry brooklyn, but there are a lot of different kinds of tillers.
Where have you been?

Dear How are you?


It would be good and fine to have your response please read below:

1/ An investor said he has finalized with his associates and that they
will transfer 7,000,000 dollars to your account.

2/ Out of the 7,000,000 they are willing to offer you 2% of the
7,000,000 which is 140000 USD to invest in your business.

3/ He said they are ready for a transfer once you confirm
understanding of the above as partnership.

Please get back to me.

So the wheels aren't helpful when tilling?

The OP was 11 years ago.

However, within the thread:
*********
Very few worms are harmed during rototilling, the vast majority burrow
deeper then you can till as soon as they feel the vibrations of your
machine. Earthworms are both male and female, each produces both eggs and
sperm. Earthworms reproduces at a far greater rate than you can rototill
them, fortunately There is no shortage of earthworms, all the world's
earthworms weigh more than all other animal life combined. If not for the
preditors that live by feeding on earthworms the planet would be so over run
with earthworms so as to make the planet uninhabitable for any other animal
life.
**************

that doesn't all sound right, especially since the US had no earthworms until Europeans arrived. (The worms arrived in ship's ballast, and began eating the forest floor litter. The ecology of the New World was totally different back then.)

it depends upon where you are and what you
consider native (what time frame):
