Introduction

Row Marker OEM-290-257 will help you lay out your garden with speed, accuracy and convenience — without the bother of

stakes, strings, tape measures and other tools. It’s fast and easy to assemble, mount and use with your TROY-BILT HORSE Model,

ECONO-HORSE, PONY or JUNIOR Model tiller too! Just follow these assembly & use instructions.

NOTE: If you ordered a Hiller-Furrower with your Row Marker, be sure to install the Furrower blade first, as the Row Marker

attaches directly to the Furrower blade and must be used with it. Separate assembly instructions are included with the Hiller-

Furrower. If you already had a Hiller-Furrower, just attach the Furrower blade to your TROY-BILT Tiller as always and follow the

Row Marker instructions here.

TO PREVENT INJURY FROM MOVING PARTS OR HOT

SURFACES:

• Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to

stop.

• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug

and allow the muffler to cool.

Tools Needed

• 9/16” wrench (or adjustable wrench)

• 3/8” wrench (or adjustable wrench)

Step 1: Attach Main Support to the Furrower

1. Using a 9/16” wrench or adjustable wrench, first

remove the two 3/8” hex nuts and lockwashers that

secure the furrower blade to its bracket.

2. Position the Row Marker Main Support on the two

3/8”-16 x 1-1 /2” long bolts (A and B in Photo 1).

Note: The Stop Bar on the Main Support faces out toward

the operator and the two bottom holes in the Main Support

are used for mounting.

3. Replace both lockwashers and hex nuts and tighten

securely.

4. Using a 9/16” wrench, remove hex nuts and lockwash-

ers from bolts “A” and “B“, install Main Support on

bolts as shown. Replace nuts and washers.

WARNING

Be sure you received all the hardware and parts listed below. If anything is missing or damaged, please write or give us a call

using the information provided on the back cover of this manual.

Step 2: Mount the Marker Blade

on the Marker Arm Extension

1. The Marker Arm Extension is the 27” long solid steel

shaft with a stop pin at one end and two mounting

holes at the other end. Place this arm on a flat surface

(table, etc.) for working ease.

2. Slide the extension arm into the “V-shape” of the blade

(see Photo 2), aligning the holes in the arm with the

holes in the blade. Be sure the stop pin at the other end

of the arm and the points of the blade are facing you.

3. Insert two #10-24 x 1” lg. round head screws through

the blade and the arm holes and secure them with two

#10-24 hex nuts (the nuts have permanently attached

star washers) as shown in Photo 3. The star washer

side of the hex nut should face the Extension Arm.

Tighten firmly with a 3/8” wrench. Use a screwdriver, if

necessary, to keep the screws from turning while the

nuts are being tightened.

Step 3: Slide Marker Arm Extension

into the Main Arm

1. With the stop pin at the end of the Extension Arm and

the holes facing you, slide the Extension Arm into the

hollow Main Arm. See Photo 4.

Note: You may push the Extension Arm in as far as you

wish for now. When completely assembled, you’ll be able

to immediately adjust to whatever widths between rows

you may want just by retracting or extending the Extension

Arm.

Photo 4

2. Insert the Nut Bar lengthwise into the Main Arm as

shown in Photo 5. Continue to slide the bar in until the

two tapped holes in the Nut Bar are aligned with the

two holes at the end of the Main Arm. When the holes

are aligned, and the Extension Arm is at the length you

want, then secure the arms together with two 1/4”-20 x

1/2” long thumbscrews (see Photo 6 inset) turning

them until they’re tight.

Note: To adjust the Marker Extension Arm in or out to suit

a row width for your application, simply unthread the

thumbscrews one full turn, then adjust the arm length

before retightening the thumbscrews. Fully extended, the

Row Marker is 49-3/4” long; fully retracted, 28”.

Step 4: Attach Main Marker Arm

to the Main Support

The Main Marker Arm connects to the Yoke at the top of

the Main Support with a quick-release pin.

1. Align the sleeve located at the end of the Main Arm

between either the top set or bottom set of holes on the

yoke sides. See Photo 7.

2. Once the sleeve is lined up, insert the quick release pin

(Photo 8, Inset). At this point, the Main Arm rests on

the Stop Bar and points straight back from the rear of

the tiller.

IMPORTANT: The top and bottom sets of holes on the yoke

sides allow the marker arm to rest on the Stop Bar at the

proper angle regardless of whether the Extension Arm is

fully extended or retracted. When the extension arm is

more than 50% extended, use the bottom set of holes,

otherwise use the top set of holes.

3. Pivot the Marker Arm from its “straight back” position a

full 90°to either the right or the left in order to get the

Marker Arm to point out to the side of the Tiller.

Whether you decide to pivot right or left, just be sure

the points of the Marker Blade face back toward the

operator after the arm has been pivoted. See Photo 9

and Photo 10 for the correct in-use position.

Photo 7 & Photo 8 (inset)

Photo 9

Photo 5 & Photo 6 (inset)

Photo 10

NOTE: the points of the Marker Blade must be facing back

toward the operator, not toward the front of the Tiller.

Practice Pivoting The Row Marker Arm

Start with the arm on the left side (see Photo 11), then just

lift up and swing it over to the right side (Photo 12).

IMPORTANT: Before turning your Tiller, always lift up on

the handlebars to raise the Marker Blade out of the soil to

avoid damaging it.

IMPORTANT: Never put the tiller in reverse unless the

Marker Blade is out of the soil; damage could result.

NOTE: When using The Row Marker with your PONY,

ECONO-HORSE, or JUNIOR Tiller, be sure the handlebar

height is adjusted to one of the three highest settings so

the Marker Arm has sufficient clearance to swing past the

handlebar grips.

To Make Raised Beds . . . Add the Hiller Wings

Add the Hiller Wings to your Furrower Blade and you’ll be

able to mark out and make raised rows (beds) at the same

time. Photo 13 shows the complete Hiller/Furrower with

Row Marker attached on the Horse Model Tiller. See last

page for raised bed instructions. Mount the Hiller Wings

and you’re ready to make wide-row, raised beds.

How To Use Your Row Marker...

Before using your Row Marker, remember the following:

1. All nuts and bolts (and the thumbscrews) should be

tight on the Row Marker and Hiller/Furrower attach-

ments.

2. Don’t put the tiller in reverse unless the marker blade is

raised up off the ground.

3. Lift up on the tiller handlebars before making a turn to

prevent Row Marker damage.

4. If you accidentally hit an obstruction causing the mark-

er arm to shift out of alignment, adjust the arm back to

its original position before continuing (remember, the

arm forms a perfect right angle with the Main Support

when it’s adjusted properly). See Back Cover for how to

adjust the tension on the Yoke Assembly.

General Use for Deep Furrows

1. Prepare a good seedbed with your tiller.

2. Adjust the marker length for the spacing you want

between rows for planting and cultivation.

3. Start with your tiller on the edge of your garden where

you want your first furrow.

4. Place the Row Marker arm on the side where the sec-

ond furrow will be.

5. Proceed to make the furrow as you normally would,

walking in the furrow directly behind your tiller, using

both hands.

6. To get the first furrow straight, pick out a distant object

in line with your row. Then, look straight ahead and aim

toward it. The quicker you make the furrow (high

speed, open throttle) the straighter the furrow and row

marker guideline will be.

7. At the end of the first row, lift up on the handlebars,

turn the tiller around, and center your tiller on the Row

Marker guideline you just made.

Photo 11 & Photo 12

Pivot the Row Marker arm over to the other side of

your tiller, and start in on the second row, sighting

straight ahead down the guideline.

Tip: When planting different types of seeds or transplants

in the new row, make the necessary adjustment in the

depth of the Furrower before starting the new row.

Shallow Furrows For Small Seeds or to Mark Row

Positions

• Put your depth regulator in the second or third notch

and use the Row Marker as before, only walk beside the

tiller and run one wheel right on the guideline mark

rather than centering the guideline between the wheels.

(It will be easier to see and follow the line.)

• For best results, use the tiller at a higher speed .

• Mark out your entire garden with 1”-2” deep furrows.

That way the position of all your rows will be clear from

the beginning and you can start planting anywhere

you’d like. Or, you can go over any of these rows later

to make a deeper furrow, or tiller swath for wide-row

planting. Just follow the Row Marker guidelines.

Deep Furrows For Fertilizing or Trench Cornposting

• Mark out all your rows with 6”-8” furrows, using the

Row Marker as described for making deep furrows

under General Use. Now you can fill in these deep fur-

rows with compost or manure (plus a covering of soil)

and plant right on top. This method concentrates all the

nutrients where the plants need them and does not

waste them in the walkways.

Raised Beds

• To help make raised beds, set the Row Marker arm to

between 40” and 49-3/4” long and add the Hiller Wings

to your furrower. Make several passes with the Hiller/

Furrower-Row Marker, as described in General Use. The

wings throw up ridges between furrows. Level off the

ridges with a rake and you’ll have raised beds all ready

to plant. Add Hiller Wings for raised beds.

IMPORTANT: Check and Adjust the Tension Setting on the

Yoke Assembly regularly. The Yoke Assembly on the Main

Support has been factory tightened to allow the Yoke to

pivot when the Marker Blade meets a certain amount of

resistance. This prevents damage to the Row Marker com-

ponents. If the setting should ever loosen, you should

retighten the hex nut on the Yoke

Assembly as tight as possible.

• Use a 9/16” socket or box end wrench to tighten the

nut with one hand, and use the other hand on the Row

Marker arm to steady the Yoke and keep it from pivot-

ing. Turn nut counter-clockwise.
