Just bought this tiller and the tires are pulling forward but the tines are tilling in reverse. When I put it in reverse, it tilles forward.
DO I NEED TO MIX THE OIL
No, you do not need to mix the oil. The LEGEND FORCE LF20212RT uses regular motor oil (recommended 10W-30) and regular octane fuel separately.
