SWINGING TAILPIECE/DEPTH STAKE
The entire tailpiece and depth stake can be either
locked in position or allowed to swing freely. The
tailpiece and depth stake are used in the unlocked posi
tion when it is necessary to maneuver in small areas.
To lock, line up the holes in the rear frame with the
holes in the tailpiece, and push in the short end of the
U-clevis pin. To allow the tailpiece and depth stake to
swing, pul! out the U-clevis pin and place it in the for
ward hole as shown in figure 20.

CONTROLLING SPEED AND TILLING DEPTH:
1. Wheel Yoke Adjustment: Place wheel yoke so
that the wheels are forward (nearest point between
wheels and tines) for shallow tilling, cultivating and
transport. This will increase the forward speed.
Turn yoke around (farthest point between wheels
and tines) for deep tilling. Forward speed will
decrease. See figures 19 and 2i.

2. Depth Stake Adjustment: The depth stake acts
as a brake for the tiller and controls the depth and
speed at which the machine will operate. Remove
the clevis pin and hairpin clip to raise or lower
depth stake. See figure 19.
By increasing the depth of the depth stake, the for
ward speed of the machine is reduced, and the
working depth is increased. See figure 22. When
the depth stake is raised, the working depth of the
machine is reduced and the forward speed is in
creased. The working depth of the machine may
be predetermined by setting the depth stake and
wheels so that the wheels are about four inches
from the ground when the tines and depth stake
are resting on the ground. This setting will permit
a working depth of about four inches. When preset
ting the working depth, the handles should be ad
justed so the hand grips are a little above waist
height because the tiller will be lower when the
tines and depth stake penetrate the ground.
