TILLING
=The most eff_le_ tillage is obtained whenTHief
EngineIs oper=tKI at fullthro_e. The soundof the
Tiller Enginewill tellyou. When TigerEngJceIs
lightlyloaded, raiseGauge Wheels to Increasetilling
depth. If Engine,seems tOhe ovedeaded or stallsOUt,
lower Gauge WheeJsfor shallowertilling.
Operate TillerEngine atfull throttleand opsrato
tractor in slowesl forward speed,withtractor engine
at idle speed or Jbstabove idle. You _11soon learn
the proper combinationOftilling depth and speedfor
good tiflage.
Soil conditionsWilldetermine howdeep Tiler can
penetrate on the]lrst pass. In extremelyhard
ground, severalpaLsee may be necessary to tillto a
depth of 6 inche,L.While in softground,Tdlermay
penetrate to a dS_l_hof 6 inchesinthe first pass.
TILLING HINTS

. Where po_ible, we recomrnendtilling in a pattern
similarto that shown In Fig.7. Make the firstpeas,
then sldp a space equalto the width of the tiller,and
