Sorry for this dumb question.
I picked up my 5'KK tiller yesterday. I only have one question. The chain for the back plate adjustment; how do have yours set (if you have one)? Can you just let the plate drag behind without attaching the chain? The plate seems to be a little heavy compared to my Troy built rear tine tiller.
Below is what the manual stated. Adjust for the desired mulching effect. The tighter the chain the more it mulches...? Should I just attach the chain loose with slack?
I know I could play around with it and find out...but why not just ask the experts!
STEP 4 (From KK Manual)
With the rotary tiller attached to the tractor, raise and support the tiller with
suitable blocks. Adjust the skids, located on the sides of the tiller. The adjustment
bolts for both right and left sides should be positioned in the same adjustment
hole. This allows the tiller to till the same depth on each side. Adjust
the back plate, with regulating chain, until the desired mulching effect is found.Note: Never attempt to adjust the rotary tiller while the tractor is
running.
