Ask Bill.  I really don't know.  All I know is I typically till high in the
green.

Larry, I don't know what the power meter ran with the tiller not engaged 
in 
soil, but I believe it was very low in the green.  My concern is what gage 
wire the tiller should have. As it was set up here, one leg had 3 gage 
(this

is the bad blade on the plug) and the other leg had 6 gage and the third 
wire (6 gage) is not used. Maybe I should use the 3 gage and tie the two 6 
gages together?
