Re: (ET) tilling

My experience (and I was tilling tonight) is that it depends on speed. If I put the E12 in LL and full speed forward, it takes three passed to get the smooth soil I like. If I pulse one second on in lowest speed forward (both resistors in) and two seconds off, I can pretty much get the equivalent in one pass, with slight overlap of rows.
Rear lift motor quit and I can't find any issues other than it appears the potted windings have passed on. I have most of the bits for the manual rear lift. Anyone got good images of the complete rear manual lift and how it works?

My ET tiller took about 2 or 3 passes to equal what my equally old Sears 8HP gas engine driven Counter Rotating Tine tiller could do in ONE pass, as far as quality of pulverization, depth of till ... on previously unbroken sod.
But the ET tiller is wider, and never kicked me in the chest when it hit a large rock !
ALSO, on previously tilled soft soil, the Sears CRT tiller wheels just spun, when the tines dug in, pulling backwards ... 

So, the ET did better in that case.

Just a weird question, wonder how many passes anyone makes when the use
the ET tiller to till up the garden ?  Boss-lady says at least 3
following a different track each time.

We have good sandy loam soil that hasn't had a big tractor or plow on
for at least 20 years.
