Tilling Techniques:

• For best results, work in small sections.
• Allow the tiller to do the work; do not force it into hard soil. For compacted soil, make several passes, gradually increasing depth.
• Move the tiller slowly and steadily across the area you wish to cultivate.
• Be mindful of obstacles such as rocks, roots, and buried objects. The tiller is designed to avoid stone blockage with a 2.7-inch distance between the blade and shell alloyman, but caution is always advised.
