I just got a new 5 ft King Kutter II tiller and the paint quality is pretty much as nasty as a lot of you have said, although at this point most of it is still on. I'm hoping the mechanical quality is a good as it has been for you guys that have had good luck with them.
We're finally losing our snow here in northern lower Michigan, so I went out and cracked the tiller out of its crate (crate, hah!) and mounted it on my tractor. Everything seems OK, but I don't really know what to do with the back plate, the plate that rides on top of the tilled dirt. There is a chain that can be shortened to raise this plate up, but why would I want to do that? All the manual says is: Adjust the back plate, with regulating chain, until the desired mulching effect is found. I guess I'm too dumb to understand that. Does it make any real difference where I set that plate??
Any advice would be appreciated.
