My garden tractor towable tiller has the counter rotating tines and it spits up all sizes of rocks.
Thought you guys would get a laugh at my expense....
Flash back to 38 years ago and my folks bought a Mongomery Wards roto-tiller.
BIG SNIP
It is clear that the dealer back in 78 installed the two outboard tines holders on backwards. If only all 4 had been backwards then I think we would have caught on.
little snip
And now it works like it should...
Anyway... Stories....

Roto-tillers--you all were livin' high off of the hog.:laughing::laughing:
I remember one year my mother rented a roto tiller, but that was it. She had 7 boys and felt no need to bring in extra equipment.
That sounds like the tiller I have now, it acutally works pretty good once you get the the rear depth gauge/anchor set to the right depth. But after an hour or two of that I'm probably as sore as if I was turning by hand, but I have maybe 5 times the area done... Fortunately I only have to do a saturday mornings worth of tilling every year.Thanks for dragging up one of those childhood memories I long since forget. My parents love to garden and one day finally broke down and bought a 5hp front tine tiller (don't remember the brand, just that it was an orange frame with white briggs engine). The wheels on it were the same plastic ones you find on a push mower.
Anyway it quickly became my job to till the garden. I called it a jumping jack because that's about all it did. I would spend hours doing my best to force it to actually did. Come to find out that maybe it was put together wrong and all those years of punishment could have been avoided. I think it answers why I now have an urge to buy a bottom plow for my Kubota.
