How do you move a Troy Bilt tiller?

How do you adjust a Troy Bilt tiller belt?

Tighten the belt by pushing the wheels/tines/PTO drive lever downward, or loosen the belt by pushing the wheels/tines/PTO drive lever upward. You will have to estimate how far to move it. Overtime, the belt will stretch, so the setting will be different each time you adjust the belt.

Whats the difference between a tiller and cultivator?

A cultivator is primarily used to mix loose soil, while a garden tiller can break up hard pieces of ground. As such, a cultivator is unlikely to work if you are creating a new garden plot because its tines are not heavy-duty enough to loosen hard soil.

How do you set a tiller depth?

In general the depth bar should be adjusted so the tiller is tilted slightly backwards. Raise the depth bar to dig deeper into the soil. Lower the depth bar when to till in shallow areas. For hard, compacted soil, it is very important to set the depth bar in the lowest position during the initial tilling.
