What Is a Tiller Tine?
A tiller tine is the part of the tiller that digs into the soil. Tillers are used to cultivate soil and to break ground open to prepare it for planting. The rotating tines cut into the dirt and turn it over, breaking up clumps and tearing out grass and weeds. Small mini tillers usually have two to four sets of tines, while larger types of tillers can have up to eight sets.
