Craftsman Dual Rear Tine Tiller , How it works 

Thanks. On that rocky ground, it's like a jackhammer! This is extra useful video, with all the "this could happen to you" stuff, very good video.

nice.. I think you'll enjoy that machine. I had one similar but a 4 horse and only tined one way.. got it in 87 and finally fell apart 5 yrs ago.. mine and other people's gardens,flower beds, used it to redo driveway when we moved here, and prepared my beds for sidewalks when I poured concrete

An awesome machine sire. My regards to you all.

Liked your temporary fix on that beast! A little more TLC and that should be a sweet keeper!

Thanks so much for the demo.

that thing really does a good job in that new ground, and I think that will be a good garden spot since it's just been grass for a real long time. lol, I know what you mean about not wanting to drag it back to the shop;, that would be real work.. I think if it were me I would try to rebend the spring and see what happens since it is so easy to get to.. happy gardening.

Hey thanks, Man. I was wondering when to use my tiller on reverse tilling. Now I know.

Couldn't help but notice in this video that you were running the tiller with the choke halfway on in this video. I have the same tiller and always had to do that to get it to quit pulsing. I ended up removing the bottom jet that holds the fuel bowl on and cleaning the holes which still didn't eliminate it. Still starving for fuel so I used an .039 drill bit and enlarging the center jet to that size. Now it runs smooth with the choke all the way off and the throttle wide open.

You've done nothing with so little, for so long, that you can do anything with nothing! Tufdog 2016! Hey Tufdog! You're right no one has just an operators manual (video) for these larger rear tine tillers. Thanks for putting this up. I would add that my Tiller which is a dual rear tine tiller also can bring up a lot of rocks. That tiller unearths it but you got to hang on to it so that it doesn't flip over sideways. Once you remove all of the rocks from the ground and from in between the tines this tiller its smooth sailing after that and a pleasure to use.

good for all

Wow! he's an eager li'l beaver! That's pretty bad rocks for sure! Here in NE, we got some of the rockiest soil on the east-coast! LOL I love that mantra! It's true for many of us. Thanx Bruce!

Very informative video 👍

Good job

In case something blows up! Good one.

Great job

farmer tuf dog looks like way to much fun lol

Good timing. :)

Looks like she works great! Do the tines slip at all? Mine does if I try to till too deep on really hard ground.

Excelente

So glad i found this video!! I just bought one used yesterday and that sticker was gone. In forward it like to drag me around the yard. And the throttle is missing where you used a coat hanger. Where did you end up getting the replacement for your throttle cable?

I have one of those tillers

short piece annealed wire looped onto tensioner then wound into spring 4-5 coils back works too, had to fix one quick years ago.. was on there for years.. getting one today, bud called from rummage sale, says one there like new 250, said load it up if working order.. My old front tine Toro from early 70s tiller caught on fire last year due to leaking gas cap.. pro tip, do not toss whatever you have laying on ground to smother fire, section of outdoor carpet really lights up..lol mine burned 5 minutes, I hid behind garage waiting for it to blow, it didn't, went up to tiller, pulled melting carpet off and tossed on some water I found in bucket behind garage, fire went out.. air cleaner 1 hose and some paint were only casualties, she runs, but needs work so getting another and rummage saling this one...

Use the depth guage. 1st cut should be a couple inches deep. Then raise the gauge a couple holes and go over again until it loosens up the soil. Won't be bucking and jumping so much. Really biting off more than it can chew on your fist attempt. lower your handle bars also so your not reaching way up. Should be able to walk beside the machine one handed. Easy

Sorry Tufdog - But I have a question. I need to fabricate a handle for my tiller and need to know how long from end to end is the shift lever handle??? I think I can figure out the rest - - where the holes go and so forth. Thanks for your time. Scott

Do these machines take straight unleaded gas or do you need to mix 2 stroke oil in it

I'm sure its the belt , I have to open the cover and pop the belt on now an then. Bit with my new belt that tension stays on it good and thats what that lever on the handle ingages is you tension pulley.

My first experience with rear tine tiller was a Honda, it wanted to run away, I don’t think it was counter rotating?

I have one of these and the gear thing moves freely and its in not in gear. Any suggestions?

I have one, but how do you set the tines? The tines miss all the center of the row.

nice hat...gonna place my order early....snap peas...corn...lots of sunflower seeds. no hurry to fill order.....lol nice tiller says keep toes and fingers away and back lol...duh eh man my dad had a huge tiller...giant size that about killed you to run it let alone stay up with it...had normal size car tires....i still have the frame as a ;awn ornament

Nice fix there Tufdog! Nice sized garden too. If you want to kill grass in a area cardboard does the trick. Are y'all buying veggie plants or growing from seed? Have a good'nnn

Tuf Dog, I just bought the same machine used. Tried it for the first time and have been shearing tine shear bolts left and right. I have the ground stake up so it’s not digging in hard. But for the life of me, I can’t go 20 feet without shearing the shear pin. Anyone have any suggestions? I tried multiple shear pins and also a grade 5 bolt with the same result. Do the times have to be pointed a certain direction? I don’t think they are swapped reversely? It’s my first rear tine machine. But you used it pretty hard that first pass and your bolts stayed solid. I need some suggestions? Because I’m about to sell it.

I had one and it would pull down with this 5 hrs B&S and these are great engines it just no geared right sorry 😐 and my soil is really soft just was need to till we’re young grass was starting to grow.

I'm looking at buying one just like that. Is it worth it? Any regrets?

I'm thinking about buying one for 300 are they tough big guy?🇺🇸

It’s geared to damn high.

Hey bring that thing by here and make me a spot. I'm not allowed to do that kind of thing per doctors.

Merci , y go buy a very hold tiller tomorrow. He dont start , ect... But he is very low cost and y am able repair.

Shoulder dislocator

Mine is missing sticker and don't know shit about my tiller. Just bout it used

LOL To funny Your secret is safe with me.

I have one like that and its transmission is junk

Too deep on first pass. You should go shallower on first so i's not tearing up the machine and your arms.
