Power Tiller Working Depth and Soil Preparation Guide
Good tillage starts with the correct soil condition and working depth. Trying to work too deep in one pass can increase wheel slip, bury residue poorly and overload the drive system.
Start with the real job
Do not select equipment from one maximum number. Describe the normal job, the hardest condition and the limits around the work area. This makes quotations easier to compare and reduces configuration changes later.
Details to confirm
| Soil moisture and compaction | Measure or describe this item before selecting the final machine or attachment. |
|---|---|
| Target working depth | Measure or describe this item before selecting the final machine or attachment. |
| Residue and weed condition | Measure or describe this item before selecting the final machine or attachment. |
| Number of passes | Measure or describe this item before selecting the final machine or attachment. |
| Travel speed and overlap | Measure or describe this item before selecting the final machine or attachment. |
| Blade wear and stone risk | Measure or describe this item before selecting the final machine or attachment. |
Simple selection process
- Record the application and working environment.
- Measure the key load, depth, height or access limits.
- Check the machine and attachment as one system.
- List optional items and supplier assumptions separately.
- Approve the final specification before production.

Common questions
What information should be sent with an inquiry?
Send the application, working conditions, required dimensions, destination and any limits that affect access or operation.
Can one specification suit every site?
No. Terrain, material, duty cycle, attachment and local operating conditions can change the suitable configuration.
When are final specifications confirmed?
Final specifications are confirmed in the technical quotation and order documents before production.
