Are You Doing It RIGHT? Tilling with a Tractor

Do you really know how to till your garden with a small tractor tiller? So many people buy small tractor tillers in hopes of growing bigger gardens. Let's face it, with food shortages and high food prices, a big garden is a good idea. Still, it is essential to know these things about your tiller. How deep, how fast, and when do I till. The maintenance of your tiller is important too. The T25 tractor by @TYMTractorsUSA is doing a great job pulling this five-foot tiller through new garden.

[@thomasreece3903]

Only thing I can add is that I built a wooden frame to set my tiller on and added caster wheels. It’s so much easier to put on and remove from tractor. I keep mine on a concrete floor. Just roll it into position while the tractor sets.

[@SteveB2601]

Just added you to my very short subscriber list. This video is a year old and still helping people out. Good job!!!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Awesome, thank you!

[@genewilliams7497]

I learned many many years ago to break ground with a field cultivator to the desired depth, then use a tiller to pulverize the soil to achieve the right plant bed. By using the cultivator first the tiller can be advance at a much faster speed and it’s a ton easier on your tiller by not breaking hard ground

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Gene, I am sure your are correct, but No more than I use my tiller, it will last me a lifetime. I also service it plenty more than it is need. We also have very favorable soil. I think I will turn this over in the fall. Still not sure if this will be the permanent garden locations.

[@everettware3466]

Plowing first gets those rocks up and like you said it’s easier on the equipment.

[@sandrarichardson2713]

You ever need something and you look everywhere for it and are exhausted by the time you find it??? lolol I have looked at who knows how many videos with misleading titles or 10 minutes fluff and 1 minute instruction trying to find the information you presented. It was such a marvelous relief to hear you go through everything I needed to know about how to use my tiller. I liked. I subscribed. What a terrific video. And the star of the show----Gizmo!! Thanks for helping me and Jesus bless.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

[@WT-Sherman]

When you hit the clutch with the PB Blaster you woke up a spider. Best video I’ve seen yet on preventive maintenance. I have to stock up on brake cleaner fluid.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. It is hard to keep up with all the maintenance, If I don't, it will keep up with me.

[@dennisreed7181]

Nice, informative video. One important thing to remember, though, when loading to and unloading from the trailer, make sure that the tiller is fully lifted. That prevents the tiller from dragging on the ground.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Sometimes in smaller tractors, it doesn't matter. Even lifting to full height, the tiller will still drag. You just have to go slow and not damage things.

[@jjcochran8599]

It helps to have someone with you too. I thought I had the angle correct until I let my daughter drive. I still had the angle off

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Over time I have learned to judge it myself. I love tilling the ground.

[@ramchillarege1658]

Thanks again. I have seen this video before, but watching it a second time helped me pick up some tips I had not forgotten. May need to come back and listen to the greasing section again.. after I can find my grease gun that has been absconding ..

[@randalmiddleton8068]

Good point spraying the slip clutch... I missed doing that last fall.

Tractor safety is really important. Just as a reminder to any new tractor owners out there if your going to do any sort of maintenance work on any tractor attachments behind the tractor, shut the tractor engine off and set the PTO switch from 540 to neutral.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Jack. I did a video yesterday where I credited you for pointing out these safety things. It still has to be edited, but it should be out next week. Thank you for keeping safety fresh. Tony

[@jimfriday4909]

Always look forward to your videos. Do not have a tiller yet. Still using disc in my bigger patches. Tips will come in handy. Thank you for sharing.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Jim, I think a disc might be better for my new planter in a bigger locations. I only need to till down about 3" to 4" for the planter to work best. It will take me a few seasons to figure out how to use the planter in the best way. I defiantly will not till as deep when I plant beans.

Great video, I have a 6 foot tiller on my TYM T450. I have added a 3 row maker to the rear of it so I can do gardens all in one motion. It does a better job and is faster and easier. If I knew how to add a picture I would just in case someone else does gardens. 21:45😅

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It sounds like a nice setup. Unfortunately, you two will not allow comments to add pictures any longer.

[@hansjansen7047]

When you start the pass the dirt gets thrown back 6 inches like you said, but the next time you till start at the other end of yourn field so that you throw it back where it was before, or you 'll end up with a dip at one end and a hump at the other end. If you start on the right SIDE of your field then the next time star.t on the left side

[@user-bj5kb1fx3m]

Good advice, thanks!

[@bransomarflin1327]

I really enjoy your videos, I just got a TYM T25 and I am working on setting it up like yours.

With the small planter we just got, and this tractor setup, we are almost to the small productive farm status. We are gardening 3/4 acres in two locations. We will expand it to two acres once we set the land up.

two small things: a second (or third) pass not only fines up the dirt but lets it ride lower on the skids for a deeper bed. Second, I leave the tiller on the back for loader ballast.

If the surroundings allow, I like to till the second time 90 degrees from the first time. Especially if I am tilling ground that has much growth on top. Also, I have an older gear-driven tractor.

Great video. I just used my tiller a week ago to loosen the sod up to remove it for a building project. I used a blade to scrape it away and then set it aside to be mixed in to the waste hay and horse manure. One quick note; it's easier to grease the U-joint at the tiller end before you hook it up.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. I love to run the tiller. I love the smell of freshly turned dirt.

[@jaycoy107]

Liked and sub'd. We have 25.5 acres of "harvested" forest. We have pulled and burned a TON of stumps, and raked out the debris, and tilled the soil. About to plant some fruit trees in "hardiness zone 6". (The most fun part was pulling the chain harrow around with my Can Am side by side. Running back and forth across ground that was nearly impossible to walk through? With my Maverick Trail in low and with the pedal on the floor, flying back and forth? EPIC). It's now flat, smooth, and ready for Grandkids on dirt bikes to blast back and forth between Bumpah's fruit trees. Glad I found your site.

Having just bought a tiller last fall and not knowing much about them I really found this video very informative. My only worry now is that I may have put too much grease in the end bearing opposite the gear drive. But before I use it again I'll raise the tiller up and look at the back side. I really don't do a large area but it's too much for this old man to do with a walk behind tiller. Great video. ❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

John, I understand. We have started gardening about 3/4 acres at two locations. I would hate to know I needed to use a walk behind tiller again. I will use the tractors to weed as much as I can, but hand weeding is part of gardening.

[@shakin_jakewilson5247]

Hey John! I use both a tractor tiller (6’ behind my 3930 metric Ford AKA New Holland) and an older (same circa, 25 years old now) Troy Bilt walk behind tiller. This Troy Bilt was manufactured before the original company sold out to a Chinese concern. Anyways, I can’t imagine not using my walk behind tiller for row maintenance, things like weeding and getting fertilizer to the vegetable crop, but to each his own. I mainly use the tractor tiller to get my gardens ready for planting. Not that you or anyone asked but I maintain two 50’ X 100’ gardens. Gardening for me is a great way to connect with nature. We also enjoy the fruits of our labor. There’s nothing better than home grown produce. God Bless!

[@douglaspost5097]

I rented a 6' John Deere rototiller one time and after watching this I realised that just about everything I did was wrong. I had the tiller set as deeply as I could but it only went down about 2-3" I didn't tilt it forward at all. I went way too fast too. I was used to using disc harrows that you travel quite a bit faster than a tiller. I have an old Troybilt walk behind tiller that I've used for years and years so you would think I'd know better than travel so fast with the tractor. Sure wish I saw this video before I rented that tiller. I'd have probably done a better job. The company that I rented it from didn't know any more than I did. If I ever need to rent that again, I'll know better. Thanks for explaining things so well.

I HAVE DRILLED tiny weep holes in the side seals of a bearing before -- on my John Deere 265.

Due to my adult kids living with me and my bad back. My 3 point tiller is sitting idle this year. The kids all have dogs and those 4 dogs tore my garden up last year. But who knows I may still till an area even though I am doing raised beds in a 50ft by 46 ft area. I have found that it is easier to disc cut then till the soil with any organic matter added to get a good mix.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

[@noroomforgloom]

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Welcome

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

The most important thing for the longevity of a tiller (besides regular maintenance) is cutting off wrapped grass on each end bearing as soon as it builds up. If you don't, it will continue to wrap forcing its way past the oil seal and damage it....about a $400 repair. It also causes a bunch of heat that will ruin a seal. If it's grassy, I check at the end of each row.....Tillers are expensive!! 💸💸

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The easiest way to get around that is to mow the grass very short before tilling. I mowed this last year and, I didn't have any issue this year. Small clippings can't wrap up. Still, your point is valet and I hope many people read it.

[@garyreinke5161]

When I start tilling I slowly lower the tiller and conversely when reaching the end of the field I slowly begin raising the tiller so it is no longer cutting by the time I reach the end. This results in a much smoother bed without divots

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Keep on tractoring!

I use a bigger JD on my 5,8 and 12 acre deer plots but broken tandem disk stopped me last year so finish it with tiller. Worked good so used tiller and MF for all plots this year. Cannot see any ware or damage but still wondering about rpm.
