I have tilled about an acre so far this year, and plenty the last 2 years. 
 I don't know about your soil, but in my sandy-loam at say 4" deep, LL 
gear, the current is about the same as normal mowing; low to mid green.  
The only time I have ever reached yellow was very deep in packed soil, and 
then only when the tines started to plug; at that point the tiller is 
practically pushing the tractor.

No, it's an E-12 and has a few problems with relays overe the 15 yrs
I've had it.  Biggest problem has been with square ended microswitches
on speed control causing hard or sticky operation until I got smart and
radiused the operating buttons.

BTW, when I'm tilling, the load meter is usually in the yellow or red.
And that's after I recalibrated the shunt (made it the correct length as
it was too long so always read higher than it should.
