fabricator2009 48 #1 Posted April 14, 2011 Need help from all of you d series guru's. I am trying to till my garden with my d200 and a 50" tiller. I can't seem to get a constant speed. It's all or nothing. Is there something I need to adjust or is it just my inexperience with a hydro. I usually use a c141 with an 8speed. Thanks in advance, Ken.

B-8074 19 #2 Posted April 14, 2011 I'm don't have a D series, but have read a few posts about tillers. They all say that the hydro tractors tend to get pushed by the tiller. If there was a way to reverse the rotation of the tiller that would help. But the masses say it is best to use a manual tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #3 Posted April 14, 2011 Ken, It may sound silly but when I had a D with a tiller I had the best luck tilling the first pass in reverse. After the ground is loosened up it works ok going forward. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fabricator2009 48 #4 Posted April 14, 2011 Thanks Jim, I will give it a try. I'll try anything once, twice if I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #5 Posted April 14, 2011 Ken, I forgot to add that you need to tie the flap up or you'll push it into the tines when you back up. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheelhorser 7 #6 Posted December 10, 2016 Also make sure your 3 point is set to float and not apply ground pressure.To do this you remove a pin from the 3 rods under the tractor.If you do not set it to float the tiller will shove you forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
