I must be the only guy in the world that uses a tiller by moving it in reverse. I’ve had the best results that way. Going forward I’m only able to scratch the surface but pulling it in reverse while it fights to go forward has really worked for a deeper dig.
I came to youtube to see how your suposed to use them because pulling it "backwards" felt so wrong, it works so well though, I watch everyone use theirs on the allotments and then look at the tilths and think i must be the only one here that gets how to use them, it doesn't get excited and start jumping on the first couple passes either and takes far less time to work your ground overall too, I thought you were meant to drag them like a plough so that's what I been doing but nobody else did it and it was starting to make me think I was being a tool
8 years old and obviously still the best video on how to control a rotavator. I skimmed through 6 or 7 videos before finding this one. A true gem in the dirt, thank you.
This made me confident to start my yard project, great info with no useless filler. Straight to the point! Thank you so much for being so clear, well spoken, and concise!!!! This is exactly what I needed!!
Never used a tiller/rotovator and this tutorial is straight to the point and gives all the essential information required to use one. Thanks, a great help!
As a first-time homeowner, equipment like this scares me. I dont have anyone to teach me, so i was so happy to get such a clear explanation on YT with no filler or absurd dubstep intermissions. Thank you!
@@dannyd1572 it went great, it's really easy, nothing hard about it. I let my nerves get the best of me, just go slow and steady and let the tool do the work.
@@CtheG420 THanks! Got it done. Old rototiller so the wheels (tubeless) fell off twice! Had to get a ratchet strap, squish them, and air them up. So, I learned a neat trick. Tilling was tiring. My body and arms hurt last night. LOL
I am just searching for one now for our alotments to save some time and me and my wife's back. My only advice from swapping to petrol from electrical that they can be powerful as f..... For ex my petrol strimmer can cut with string through things that electrical was not even able to score. I am open to suggestions about with one you advice us to buy...under 200 pounds.
Thank you very much! Grew up on a multi generation farm and my Pa would always get mad when the tiller wouldn't move forward for me. Never could keep it from digging its own hole lol I'll try this out
A friend picked up and old 1970s Roto Tiller and it had an old trusty Briggs and Stratton 3.5 classic on it , and what the previous owner did was take the muffler off and put a 5 inch bent pipe in there 🎉 , the Tiller works wonders but you can hear it along ways off, it's a belt drive system too, but works great 👍
Simple, straight and to the point. Thank you! The ground you are tilling looks very similar to mine, hard and compacted. I saw a few other tutorials that recommend pickaxing first and removing the unwanted growth, but I thought that was the whole idea of tilling, to NOT have to do that. How did you remove the churned up unwanted grass and weeds to ensure it didn't grow back?
Depending on your soil you don't have to pick it all the way down but scalping the grass off is preferable. If you leave grass it's kind of a constant battle the first season to keep it from coming back.
Thanks for this video - I'm about to rent one of these bad boys and till my front yard to get rid of lumps and clumps, and hopefully get some nice grass growing there. The back yard is going to be full of vegetables, probably raised beds but I'm going to till it anyway to allow the roots to freely grow. Oh, and I'll be wearing boots! Cheers from Massachusetts!!!
Thank you so much although I’m not using this for “normal plant things” I’m using it to help dig a mud pit so I can take mud baths in my own backyard (hopefully my parents don’t mind as their mature teenager rolls in the mud) lol if they find out that’s gonna be interesting explaining
Been using and electric one for 3 years now but it's not as heavy as the gas motor ones so had to put weights on it to get depth and it's much quieter.
Do these work on roots or will it stall the machine? I have a big property I just bought that is overgrown with vines and thorny plants. Some of the roots are 1-1.5 inches in diameter
When I was younger my friends grandpa had one of these and we started it and didn’t know how to use it. Welllll.. it started going and it climbed the chain link fence and flipped over😆
What that yellow part next to the gas where you put in is it oil I haven't started a tiller on by myself before but I put gas in multiple spots but I should of put something else now gonna have to put something different in where the yellow part at it looks like a oil can sign though I messed up today but haven't started it yet my brother is gonna help me.
what's type of gas this tiller use. is this tiller use 2 cycle gas mixed like ( trimmer ) or just gasoline use with lawn mower ( push mowers ). Thanks you
Mc Dee what's wrong with doing yard work in sweat pants? What the fuck is it to you? If the man wants to wear em who cares he probably doesn't want his jeans to get dirty.

I like using it in reverse as well. I even yank it while tilting up and it digs really deep really fast
I was thinking that I was the only one.
And I am left handed so apparently I do everything backwards anyway.
Yes in reverse is the way!
Reverse way also assures you're not stepping

Dummed it down very well. What I needed. Thanks!

I haven't used a rototiller in 30 years and needed a refresher course for the new rototiller I ordered. This was very helpful, thank you!
Thank you for the simplicity of using a tiller. Well done!
Thank-you for taking the time to educate those who are new to this machine
No problem at all! Thank you for taking the time to watch my video!
This is just what I was looking for. I have to use a rototiller for the first time tmrw, so now I can at least look like I know what I'm doing lol
I hope it went well for you. I'm doing the same thing today and am apprehensive about it

Super charming tutorial. Love this guy’s easy demeanor. Great content, too. Very helpful.
Fantastic!! Thank you for showing it running long enough to see how hard it jumps around. Very helpful!
Amazing job explaining. Very clear, short simple and informative 👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing guide. I like that you kept it simple and didn't just expect me to know anything about it. Even going as far as to explain how to start it. A+
Thank You. I have to use a tiller next week for the first time. This is very helpful.
Helpful, I'm renting one of these today to do my backyard. Thanks!
Thank you very much. I just bought a tiller, it is of a different brand, a 2020 model, easier to start. Your guidance is valued. Thank you.
Very informative, just what I needed as an intro for a garden prep project. Thank you.
to turn the tiller off, you just turn that knob to "OFF" ahahhahahahaha I love it.
I always rototill my dirt in my socks lol very thorough 👍
Thanks for this video. I was not able to control the tiller. The instruction about control helped me complete the work.
Great video! I'm about to use a tiller for the first time!
Thank you!!! First timer tomorrow
Thank u! My husband is busy seeding
So i have to till my garden! very helpful video
Thanks
Great How To Video!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Fantastic instructional video. This helped me get up and running within 10 minutes.
This guy is awesome!!!! I wish he had a video for every tool or anything!!!
Thanks. I have to try my hand at a tiller tomorrow for the first time to break up the sod in my lawn and level it out. Wish me luck!
Thanks a lot man. We love your tutorials
Great video and info. New Subie and Supporter 👍🤩
A friend picked up and old 1970s Roto Tiller and it had an old trusty Briggs and Stratton 3.5 classic on it , and what the previous owner did was take the muffler off and put a 5 inch bent pipe in there 🎉 , the Tiller works wonders but you can hear it along ways off, it's a belt drive system too, but works great 👍

Nicely done, the basics clearly explained. Thank you! Nice camera and editing work, too.

I wish that your question had been answered.
I think you have to remove the grass first or at least that’s what I was told.
Depending on your soil you don't have to pick it all the way down but scalping the grass off is preferable. If you leave grass it's kind of a constant battle the first season to keep it from coming back.
Awesome video!!!! Very clear and to the point. AND, super clear video quality.

Great, great, great job explaining. No extra personal shit and thorough explanation of the machine. GOOD JOB!
BRAVO,SHORT AND SWEET VIDEO. THANK YOU FRIEND.
Well explained. Just one thing: what brand and what model?
Excellent instructions
Great video!!! Very simple and informative. One last thing..... You sound like "Elie Seckbach" the boxing journalist. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for making this video. Very useful.
Thank you Dr Peterson you saved my yard

Thank you for such amazing tutorial
Great video! Right to the point and step by step. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks mate! I appreciate the clear guidance.
Thank you so much for this helpful video!
This is awesome thank you.
Thanks heaps for posting. How would one of these go for a rocky, clay type soil?
Thanks for the info. I didn't realize that the first step was to star the tiller.
This is as awesome! Thank you so much for the step by step guide. Super helpful.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you
I invented the tiller and I can confirm your can use it backwards or forwards
I think you did a great job explaining the tiller. I will subscribe to see what else you can teach me. Thank you!!!!!!

Dummed it down barney style, thank you 👍
Been using and electric one for 3 years now but it's not as heavy as the gas motor ones so had to put weights on it to get depth and it's much quieter.
Succinctly done. Thank you.
Very helpful and explanatory
That was spot on. Thanks man
Great video 👍
Great video thanks!
Thanks do you explain very well but you’re missing one things what kind of oil we will using for that?
Great video👍🏼👌

Great for a first time thank you so much
Helpful af
Thank you friend
Thanks my dude 🙏
Great tutorial, thanks!
Super demo! Thanks!
My biggest concern is mixing the gas with whatever it is that gets mixed with it : )
Thanks 😊
I have small rocks in the area. Will the tiller cause the rocks to spit back out at my legs?
A-Tilla??
The Huns have entered the chat
Only in Boston
Very nice and clear...thank you
thank you
excellent
What brand is this tiller? Nice video
What type of gas do you use thanks 👍
Thanks
Do i put gas in it? Oil?50/50 mix?
very helpful. Thank you.
If there's a stone in the soil will it damage the machine
Thank you. 🙂
Good video mate. What’s the horse power on the tiller?
What's the name of that depth thing in the back? How should I use it?
Wow thank you!
