It makes me cringe watching it. I don’t know what the instructions say about how to use one pulled by an ATV, but a PTO driven one is supposed to be engaged at low RPM, then brought up to speed, then gently lowered after you start moving forward. I can’t imagine that burying those tines like that can be good for the motor, spindles, axle, etc. My other question is what are you planting that you want to aerate the soil so deep for? If you don’t cultipack the ground, you’ll end up with air pockets that will kill your seed after it sprouts. Glad that you’ve had good luck with your’s.

There is no way to control the RPMs other than slow the engine down which doesnt make much of a change..... As the video showes the date, it been 10 years since that video and it's still operating as good as the day I made the video. Other than shearing a few pins on the shaft of the tines when I have hit large rocks, I have had no issues with it. ..... I cant reall recall what I was planting there, but I have several small plots that I plant and have been planting for over 40 years, various things . I have no issues with anything growing.

Piece of junk for sure. It can't even handle prefilled soft dirt

I have had good luck with it. Its about 7 years now and still running good. I till a lot of new ground every year. Only issue I have is if you hit a large rock. It shears the pins on the tines, but i guess thats what its supposed to do.
