Re: Tilling with an Ingersoll 4118D
@Harry sorry, can you please elaborate about what didn't impress you with the center drive? I have tilled our garden a few times with my center drive, including with a 220. But first I ran the moldboard plough deep through the whole garden, and only then the tiller, at a very slow speed, and very deep. Inch at a time . I can tell you that the soil was so puffy and soft, and very small clods, going at least 8" deep. I can't imagine the soil can be better than this. Therefore, I wonder what you got with the center drive that you didn't like.

As compared to the quality of tilling I get with my Troybilt, the center drive did not meet my expectations. I do have some heavy clay soil and the center drive did not break it up like the Troybilt. I went over the area slowly at full throttle in different directions and it still did not match what my Troybilt does. I don't have a plough but maybe I should. Like I said earlier I think I'm slowly getting out of gardening like I use to. The last few years I planted pumpkins for the grand-children and some hot peppers for myself.Eugen wrote: ↑Fri Apr 08, 2022 10:30 am @Harry sorry, can you please elaborate about what didn't impress you with the center drive?
