• To create a terrace, start at the top of the slope and work down. Go back and
forth across the first row as shown in Fig. 4-10. 

• Each succeeding lower terrace is started by walking below the terrace you’re
preparing. For added stability of the tiller, always keep the uphill wheel in the soft,
newly tilled soil. Do not till the last 12" or more of the downhill outside edge of
each terrace. This untilled strip helps prevents the terraces from breaking apart
and washing downhill. It also provides a walking path between rows.

Loading and 

unloading the tiller into a 
vehicle is potentially hazardous 
and we don’t recommend doing 
so unless absolutely necessary, 
as this could result in personal 
injury or property damage.
However, if you must load or 
unload the tiller, follow the 
guidelines given next.

• Before loading or unloading, stop the en-
gine, wait for all parts to stop moving, 
disconnect the spark plug wire and let the 
engine and muffler cool. 
• The tiller is too heavy and bulky to lift 
safely by one person. Two or more people 
should share the load.

• Use sturdy ramps and manually (engine 
shut off) roll the tiller into and out of the 
vehicle. Two or more people are needed to 
do this.
• The ramps must be strong enough to 
support the combined weight of the tiller 
and any handlers. The ramps should pro-
vide good traction to prevent slipping; they 
should have side rails to guide the tiller 
along the ramps; and they should have a 
locking device to secure them to the 
vehicle.

• The handlers should wear sturdy footwear 
that will help to prevent slipping.
• Position the loading vehicle so that the 
ramp angle is as flat as possible (the less 
incline to the ramp, the better). Turn the 
vehicle’s engine off and apply its parking 
brake.

• When going up ramps, stand in the 
normal operating position and push the 
tiller ahead of you. Have a person at each 
side to turn the wheels.
• When going down ramps, walk backward 
with the tiller following you. Keep alert for 
any obstacles behind you. Position a per-
son at each wheel to control the speed of 
the tiller. Never go down ramps tiller-first, 
as the tiller could tip forward.

• Place wooden blocks on the downhill side 
of the wheels if you need to stop the tiller 
from rolling down the ramp. Also, use the 
blocks to temporarily keep the tiller in 
place on the ramps (if necessary), and to 
chock the wheels in place after the tiller is 
in the vehicle.
• After loading the tiller, prevent it from 
rolling by engaging the wheels in the 
WHEEL DRIVE position. Chock the wheels 
with blocks and securely tie the tiller down.
