An Important application for these tillers with rear rollers is to bury wood chips by tilling 2 to 3 inches deep. The roller then slightly compacts and smooths out the orchad floor. The wood chips will decompose at a faster rate and the roller out area is then in better condition for the harvesters. The University of California Cooperative Extension recommends keeping wood chips and shreddings in the orchards. They also stated that if well managed prunings can become a source of organic matter and nutrients in the soil.
