How To Use a Tractor-Driven Rotary Tiller-Tips & Tricks
A Rotary Tiller is a very useful farming implement if you’re replanting a garden from last year, or in the process of putting in a new garden. This tractor-driven attachment makes a seedbed broken into the perfect texture for planting. These rotary tillers come with various working widths ranging from 42 to 121 inches (1.1 – 3.1 m).

A PTO-powered rotary tiller is equipped with a set of curved tines attached to a rotating shaft that is powered by your tractor’s PTO to dig into your farm soil, churning it into a fine, essentially clod-free seedbed.

The working depth of your tiller can be adjusted by adjusting the skid shoes. Normally, the larger the tiller the greater the maximum working depth. In a large vegetable garden, land tilling to a depth of no more than 6 inches should be sufficient for the healthy growth of the plants.
The working width of a tiller should be at least as wide as the outside measurement of your rear tractor tires. Otherwise, it may end up with some areas in your garden that aren’t tilled as well as other areas. So, make sure you pay extra attention to each pass, making sure you overlap every one of them.
If someone is starting a new farmland or garden, then ideally it will be ploughed in the fall and the overturned soil should be mellowed over the winter. Spring is the best time to use the tractor-driven PTO-powered rotary tiller. It the soil has never been tilled before, you should go over it two or three times until the soil is tilled 4 to 6 inches deep and is free of any large bundles or clods.
If someone is tilling a new garden or re-tilling one that perhaps hasn’t been planted in a while, start slowly and don’t till too deep. Going too fast means your tiller won’t have time to grind the soil the way required. Once the tiller has been over the ground for a time or two, now you can increase your speed and working depth.
The adjustable tailgate is also highly efficient during farming tasks. A more open tailgate will allow larger dirt clods to come out, giving you slightly coarser soil, and providing a less level surface. The type of soil or terrain conditions influences what you intend to plant, and it will impact how coarse you want the seedbed to be.
