Tips for improving tilling when using your Kmart front-tine tiller

Worn or damaged tines, broken tine shaft clevis pins, a worn drive belt, a faulty transmission, a problem with the clutch cable, improper depth-stake setting or bad soil conditions can cause a tiller to do a poor job turning the soil.

The soil must be moist enough that it forms a ball when you squeeze it in your hand, but dry enough that the ball falls apart when dropped. Check soil conditions and water the area that you're tilling if the ground is too dry. Let the ground dry out if soil is too wet.

Check the depth stake setting and adjust it for the type of soil you're cultivating. Lower the depth stake to till at a 1-inch depth when using the tiller on soil for the first time or when breaking up hard soil. Also use the 1-inch depth setting to break up sod for shallow cultivation. Raise the depth stake to till loose soil and for deep cultivation.

Check the condition of the tiller tines and replace worn or damaged tines.

Troubleshooting your Kmart front-tine tiller when its engine won't start

  • Check the fuel tank. Make sure the tank is filled with fresh gasoline. Old, stale gas won't start the engine.
  • Check the carburetor choke setting. Make sure you have the choke closed to start the engine.
  • Check the air filter. Clean or replace the air filter if it's dirty.
  • Check the spark plug wire. Make sure the spark plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug.
