hiya
          i had the same trouble and realised the blades
           had been turned the wrong way round after my
          mate serviced my machine also iwas told i was
          revving the machine too fast

sounds to me like you are using it on virgin land it might be and idea to stick the fork in first to make it a bit easier

yes allan tell us more about the ground and the howard,you say you have to pull it back,you must be strong as an horse mate  
we like pictures of rotavators too

hey up allan,just a thought but howard never made a model called the major(if they did its a new on on me)and you mention taking the wheels off,you dont remove the wheels of a howard has they are wheel driven,so i think you have a merry tiller wolsley made one called a major.is it one of these on this site ? merry tillers
