BOLO TINES

They
are
truly the best
all-purpose
tines
for
all soil
con-
ditions. They are used
for
tilling
sod, weeds,
cover crops, composted material, as well
as
for
regular
tilling
and CUltivating.
They

Bolo tines require
two
holders and a set
of
16 tines in all. There are left and
right
handed
tines alternated on
both
sides
of
the
tiller
to
give you the widest and most
completely
bust-
ed up path in
your
soil that's possible
with
your
tiller.
The most
important
thing
to
realize
about
bo-
lo tines
is
that they are
by
far
the most effec-
tive in
turning
under
cover crops.
Bolo
tines

ability to turn green cover

all
of
their

to
remove
entirely
all
of
the
crop
residue that
might
wind
around the tines
dur-
ing tilling. Naturally,
you
don't
let it get so
large that
it
builds
up
to
a
point
where it
would
choke
off
the action
of
the tines. Before it does
this,
try
reversing the
tiller
to
unwind
and re-
duce the
amount
of
tangling. And,
if
necessary,
stop
the
machine,
put
the
Forward/Reverse
Lever in Neutral.
Under
such conditions, a small
pocket
knife,
or
a linoleum knife, can be helpful in
cutting
loose some
of
the tangled material faster. You
will find, with
yourTroy-Bilt
Tiller, that there
is
a very minimal need
to
go
to
this much
trouble
to
avoid tangling. Obviously, it can happen on
occasion with some
crops
and certain soil and
weather conditions.
