What is the minimum depth the tiller can be set to?

Unit did not work when we received it. Will not purchase any Green Works units !

I believe it says 5", but you can take off the wheels to get even deeper. So I'm estimating about 6-7" deep.

A lot of that would be down to the user and how much control they have over the unit, it is possible to lightly cultivate the surface to an inch in depth.

I'm using mine in very sandy soil; and it has a tendency to dig in to axle depth, no matter what setting, if I don't take care. That said, on the shallowest setting I can, with caution, hold it to about an inch...

you can adjust the depth from about 1 half inch to about 2 inches.I use it about in the middle now. I started a the smallest and worked up each time

It has an adjustable depth of up to 2-9/16 inches. This saw is also a lot quieter than I expected.

No, the tiller is best for ground that already been tilled deeply, This tiller does best for moderate garden weeding.

We used our green works tiller the other day with a 100 ft cord and it worked just fine going through the grass and dirt. It shoud work fine. Remember to keep cord away from tillers.

I bought a 100 foot cord and the tiller works well for me. I like this machine as it is comparatively light and I have quite small vegetable beds.

The edger has 3 depth settings - the deeper you go the more difficult it is to make a tight curve. I usually have mine set at the deepest setting (1.5" I think) and make it around an 8" radius ok - that's on an inside cut, outside cut is easier.

It depends on the slant you have mine is set at about ten inches at one end and about five inches on the lower end. Hope this helps.

If you use the planters full height, the soil you add to it will smother the grass; you don't need to put any liner under it. In fact, you don't want to, so the plants can grow as deep as they want. However, if the soil the grass is in is heavily compacted, it would not be a bad idea to loosen it up a bit. I actually made 6 planters out of 3 by cutting the vertical posts in half; but I tilled up the soil where I was setting the planters down about a foot. Since mine are not very high off the ground, I get grass growing in them just from being near the lawn; along with the usual weeds. You should not have that problem if you keep them at full height.

The locking mechanism for the tiller is not set directly forward of the seat, so at that point the tiller folds. Because of that angle to the seat, the tiller folds back diagonally so that it actually reaches the ground (or almost). That does allow it to have a flatter profile when folded. Instead of the handle (including basket that I have on mine) folding just to the seat level, adding about 18 inches in height to the folded device, the entire device, when tiller is folded, is lower.

Hello, I have used this tiller with a troy built weed trimmer in my gardens without any stalling. One of the gardens has a sandy soil and enables the tiller to go about three inches deep. The other garden has a clay base soil and tills somewhat harder but will still go about three inches deep. Going through old sod will be difficult due to the grass wrapping surround the tines causing you to have to stop and remove the grass so that the tiller can contact the soil. My advice would be to spray the area with a grass killer and rake the area before tilling. Mike

unfortunately not much. But it depends on what surface. If it was level dirt maybe 2 inches. But I recently used it to bury some landscape light wires, and since my lawn is thick (So FLA) the max depth was about 1 inch. I really wouldn't call it a trencher.

Not sure, I have not used the minimum setting. If the suction is restricted the motor may try to increase. You could be right.

It appears that on the large tiller the tines are attached to the drive shaft by nuts and bolts. But it looks like the tillers(3 on each side ), are made together as one piece.and remove as one piece A suggestion would be to get the smaller version.

The tines that I got have two sets of holes. One is for a Horse Tiller and the closer ones are for a Pony. The wide holes are 2 1/2 inches from center of the holes. Don't know about the closer ones for the Pony tiller. I'm using mine on my horse tiller and have had no problems. Works great.

In my opinion, yes you can!! You can test this yourself, if the tiller seems to slow down under small loads, the wire is too small!!

There are three holes on each tine. The two closest to the mounting end are used for the Troy-Bilt Horse tiller. The third hole is about 3/4" outboard of the two used for the Horse tiller. I assume that extra hole is for another model of tiller. The problem is that extra hole creates a weak spot which can, and did on one of my tines, break off.
