Thanks for the pics and explanation Downsouth. That makes sense. It never dawned on me to remove the wheels which would limit the depth and affect the leverage. In the past, I've had the drag bar set sticking forward and off the ground so I could use my foot to push down on it for leverage in picking up the tines when moving it around or turning corners. I'll tighten up the bolt so the drag bar yoke will stay horizontal. Then try the down pressure trick.
By the way, for spring seed bed preparation, how deep would one want to till? Seems like I was getting about 8" or so yesterday. Thanks.
I also intend to plant my rows so I can remove the two center tines and run down each row to get rid of the weeds unless I just put straw down. Kinda like my grandpa did with the cultivator behind his David Bradley.
