The reverse action “sucks” the tiller into the ground, which prohibits the tiller from “walking” on hard ground. The RTR2O Series Tiller also incorporates spring loaded “sift ing” rods behind the tines to help bury large rocks and debris. The reverse action of the rotor brings material up and over the top. Rocks and vegetation cannot get through the sifting rods so they fall first. Soil continues to get sifted before it falls, building a layer of large to small dirt clods burying the rocks and (5.2- to 7.3-meter) hydraulic wing fold with row spacings of 30, 36, 38 and 40 inches (760, 915,965 and 1015 millimeters). “The DTB4OO easily slices through heavy trash and clods to deep till,” reports Tony Solon, Glencoe general market ing manager. “It’s ideal for breaking up compactions, in creasing water intake during wet weather, and reversing ca pillary action to preserve mois ture during dry weather. This stimulates deep root growth for higher potential yields.” Popular accessories include plain, ripple and notched blades; 7-inch (180-millimeter) cover boards to increase residue and soil mixing; and bedding attach ments for deep tilling and bed ding in one operation. Tractor recommendations are 25- to 35- drawbar horsepower per shank, depending on soil conditions. vegetation. Reverse tilling can reduce the number of trips needed to turn the soil over.
