Garden prep
The mrs. and I are trying our hands at a green thumb this year for the first time. We've never had a garden at our house, and she's never had one ever. I've had experience but not in about 13 years or so. Ever since I got my 147 with the rototiller gearbox attached last spring, I had been itching to see what it would do with a tiller. Dad has a #2 he let me borrow that he used to use behind his 125. (a note on that; Dad's soil is extremely rocky. The tiller required multiple bolts and nuts tightened when I acquired it. Thankfully mine isn't that bad. )We plan on planting today and that meant one more pass through the soil with the 147 and dad's #2.
I'm trying to keep up with Allen and his blading vids. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxqTiGkWrfg Vid is a stationery shot as I am also the cameraman. I think the camera did an OK job. The 147 loves getting dirty. Those tillers sure are hard on stuff with all the shaking they do. PS I would love a spring assist.  Definitely on my watch list at this years Red Power Round Up next month.

Did you take progressively deeper cuts in the soil or several deep passes? I just picked up a tiller myself and AS SOON AS WINTER ENDS here in NY I'm going to try it out. Fortunately winter has yet to end here so I have a little more time to get it figured out and hooked up. Got a hitch last year from another forum member and should have about all I need now.

This was the first time I had tilled this soil ever so I did take progressively deeper cuts. This was the final pass before planting. If you try to take a deep cut at first it'll slip the belt and the tines won't move, even if something like a 14 HP motor can handle it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
