7.7 Cultivating
• Cultivating is destroying the weeds between rows to prevent them from robbing
nourishment and moisture from the plants. At the same time, breaking up the upper layer
of soil crust will help retain moisture in the soil. Best digging depth is 1” to 3” (2.5 - 7.5
cm).
• Cultivate up and down the rows at a speed which will allow tines to uproot weeds and
leave the ground in rough condition, promoting no further growth of weeds and grass.
• Do not lean on handle, this takes weight off the wheels, reduces traction, and may cause
the tiller to skip over the ground.
• Always lower the depth bar when using the forward rotating tine drive
8 Transporting – pushing tiller without engine running/power
