When we first got the tiller into the patch we found that we couldn�t get it to move forward. Watching YouTube videos of the tiller in operation it appeared the tines pulled the unit forward on its own. A bar in the back slowed the progress of the tiller so it would run away. We tried this. The tiller didn�t move anywhere. Our dirt was too soft. After a while and tinkering around with it Jeff and I finally figured out a system that worked. The guy on the back would hold the throttle and the guy in the front would pull the tiller along a couple inches at a time and let the tiller munch. Once it had dug down deep enough the guy n the front would pull the tiller up and let it move forward a few inches. This tiller weighs over 100 pounds mind you.
