Great looking tiller! One reason I never got hooked on the rear tine tillers is that I can't seem to turn it quite as sharply. With my front tine tiller I just push down on the handle and turn it as tight a turn as I want. The second reason is that for a front tine tiller I can, again, just push down on the handle and adjust the depth (and strength of it pulling me forwards!). But those are personal preferences. Garden is shaping up now!

Great points. It is a bit janky to turn it for sure. The jury is still out on whether I really like this machine. But I'll keep trying.

Reverse tine is best for first few passes. Forward tine is best for last pass. To smooth out the path. Hang on tight when it's in Forward tine. If it hits a rock or hard spot;;; it can jerk it out of your hands and tip over. 😊😊😊

That tiller is identical to my sears craftsman tiller. After a replacement tiller because the first one wouldn't run. Carburator wouldn't pass any fuel , instead of a new carb I received a different tiller . The second one has had no trouble in 7 years

That tiller is the exact same design as, Husqvarna, Cub Cadet, Yardmax and Yardman. When your soil is loose you need to till forward and set your depth to hold it back. Counter rotating tilling is really meant for harder compacted soils. You’re working yourself to death. Once you figure it out let the tiller do the work for you. I’ll agree 10 on kubota tractors but a 5 on the RTV🤣

Great video and very informative. Just found your channel while web-surfing for a rear-tined tiller. I will probably go for the smaller DR CRT. One reason for selecting a DR is that there is a service center just down the road from me in Lacey's Spring Al. If you are in Somerville we are practically neighbors! Thanks again for the video.

Thank you, Don. Ours does as well. The manual indicates the filler port to the back should be used. I had no clue as to why, so I mostly followed directions. :) Truth be known, I filled 2/3 using the rear port and topped it off in the front. And I agree, the front is much easier. Have a good one.

Hey Roger. The tines have held up well in my soil. Although I have sandy loam and not hard red clay. The machine is durable and once I figured out how to effectively use the forward and reverse tine movement it has been a solid tool for the garden.

If a tiller comes with bolts holding the wheels on; replace them with locking circle clips from TSC. Bolts will break too easy. The shifter on this one will loosen up over time. It's better to bump the shifter when changing gears.

Check online. You may find your answer with someone who has posted it previously. I’m glad to try to help but I’m not sure which part you’re referring. If it is the depth arms you attach the spring through the bolt and to the little black handles. If that is not the right spot let me know and I’ll try to see how it looks on mine and help you out. And yes, the manual was fairly useless!
