Finally got to use my tiller yesterday (sorry, no pictures). Wow, am i impressed.

on the second pass, it propelled me 20' into the yard even with the brake all the way down. had to hurry and turn the pto off. it was exciting.

finally figured out how to work it properly, and i finished too soon. i think it took longer to hook up than it did to till.

anyway, pretty cool. i am glad i bought it.

And just what is the secret you learned to doing it properly?:trink39:

 

[jakenbake]

the secret is to have your hand above the pto switch! that, and go in reverse a little.

i'm glad my wife wasn't watching. i would never hear the end of it.

I tilled up a freind's yard for him to help him put in a new lawn, a few years ago. He, like me, lives at the edge of a ravine. When the tiller 'bites' like that and runs away with the machine, it gets pretty exciting!

I learned real quick to leave space to stop...!

No pics, didn't happen!

I had a big walk behind rental tiller and it did that a bunch of times while tilling my yard, yanks you right off your feet.

I imagine it'd be pucker moment with the tractor.
