For those with tiller experience, will a GT tiller, like a model 30 break new ground? Or does it need to be plowed first?
Thanks

Yes they do, may need to make a few slow trips back and fourth.
My tines are worn or it would probably work better

Thanks for the reply brother!

Don't try going the deepest on your first pass. Work the tiller down slowly over a couple of passes or you'll end up doing damage to the tiller. Right now the ground isn't hard so two passes might get you where you want to be.

Elfman is right. Take a pass about an 1-1/2” deep as slow as you can go, then hit a second pass a little deeper, and so on. Don’t rush the seat time!

I have to say tilling is one of the most enjoyable things to do on the garden tractors.
Think because its something different.

I think it is because of the tilled soil behind you.
