This my first experience with a PTO tiller. I find it an unwieldy piece of equipment to manage. My questions are:
1. It came with the skid shoes on a low setting such that it sets on its row of tines. It seems to me that it should be setting on its skid shoes when stored, viz. with the tines not carrying any weight.
2. It seems like it could flop over backwards even with the stand down, if some kids were fooling around on it....kinda like parking a marble.
3. Do you move it from the storage area to a mounting area when you are ready to use it? So far I've moved it around with the Boom Pole to get aquainted with it and check it out. That's how I got it off my truck.
4. Since it is a chain drive, a lot of the weight is on one side such that it hangs all cockeyed when lifted by it center mount. And this thing is darned heavy (Land Pride RTA 1250). I'm over 80, 150 lbs and live by myself...with a sore knee to boot....BOO HOO.
