I am in North Texas with heavy black land clay. My 5 tiller did fine last summer with dry soil. I wanted to be able to plant this spring so I tried an acre that was very wet back in February. Now my tiller is absolutely packed with clay.
While it was still wet and gooey I tried to dig it out with a hand garden shovel, a small crowbar, you name it. Very little luck. I let it dry and got about 1-2 times clear with hours of manual labor. My last thought was to try again where I have some clay that has dried out and see if the act of tilling might dislodge the mess. That worked for more tines but I still have the center 4 tines in bad shape.
Anybody face this before? Remedies?
