I took the plunge this Spring and bought a 5 foot King Kutter II Tiller to pull behind my Jinma 254. I managed to get it mounted and put a nice finish on the garden plot, but in doing so I came across a couple of set up issues that I wanted to seek your collective advice on... The first has to...

OK, here's one I hope is more interesting than my normal newbie posts (but who knows), so here goes. This morning I fished this plow out of the forest of burdocks that grows up behind my barn every year. It's obviously a moldboard plow, but I've never seen one like this. As you can see in the...
