Hi All,
I got the tiller, Bush Hog RTS50 and boxblade, Bush Hog BX600 yesterday! The plan is to get a truck load of FREE compost today, courtesy of Cornell U., and prepare a garden plot tomorrow. I'm still waiting for the 60" bucket w/ detachable toothbar and chain hooks to come in but with luck I might see that stuff next week. The bucket is in transit.
The tiller was delivered with the skid shoes adjusted to the deepest till position. When I mentioned to the dealer that maybe it would sit on the garage floor a bit steadier with the skids set at their shallowest position he said they never know what setting the customer would prefer. Then after I looked it over a bit more I realized it would still sit on it's tines no matter what postion the skids were in. For some reason (or no reason /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif!) this made me wonder if depth control could be accomplished by just using the tractor's 3 pt. position control. Then I could just leave the skids where they are and not need tools to adjust the depth for second or third passes. Of course the manual says use the skids. Am I missing something?
Thanks Gang- Dave
