What is the basic working principle of a power tiller?

This question was previously asked in
RRB ALP 2025 CBT 2 Wiremen Question Paper (28-Jul-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

It transmits engine power to wheels and implements

A power tiller is a walk-behind machine, so its whole purpose is to convert the output of its engine into useful field work.

The basic working principle is a power-transmission chain: the engine drives a transmission that delivers power onward to the wheels and to the attached implement.

Through this transmission the wheels provide traction and movement while the rotary tines or other implement do the actual soil working.

So the machine transmits engine power to both the wheels and the implements, which is what lets a single small engine both move the tiller and till the ground.

It is not driven completely by battery mechanisms; a power tiller runs on a fuel-burning engine, so that description is wrong.

It does not work on compressed air, nor does it move the field work through hydraulics alone; hydraulics may assist but are not the basic drive.

Hence, the answer is It transmits engine power to wheels and implements.
