    Hi,
    Front tine tillers work the opposite of rear tine tillers. On a front tine tiller, raise the wheels and the depth gauge full up and it should walk across the ground. Lowering the depth gauge should make it dig deeper by holding it back; same thing with the wheel height.
    Rear tine tillers will disturb the soil when the depth gauge is fully up, Lower it it to get a more greater depth.
    Peace,
    Clarke
