How can a DR tiller with 13 inch tines till 11 inches when a Yardsman
with the same 13 inch tines can only till 6 1/2 inches ? They both seem
to be almost identical tillers.
I have an old Ariens front tine tiller, late 70's / early 80's vintage
and the tines are 10 inches diameter. 6 hp w/ reverse. Was given to me by someone too old to wrestle with it anymore. I'm 60ish and still have a
whole lot of beast left in me. :) The shield over the tines is 12 inches
from the ground. Doing several passes I can dig 15-18 inches with it.

Theoretically possible but not fuckin' likely . I'm not sure what my
tine diameter is , but I till to about 7"-8" . Looks more like 10"-11" because the soil is all fluffed up , but it settles with watering .
I have a front tine tiller and never measured the depth but can go deep
with several passes.
