Tilther Drill Overheating

6 years ago

I recently purchased a Johnny's Tilther for my small farm. It is powered by a regular cordless drill. My beds are 90ft. long but by the end of it my drill is smoking. Any idea why this is? I'm using a Dewalt 20v Max cordless drill with a 5 AH battery. Thanks

I'd guess your drill is too small. What size chuck does the drill have. A drill with a half inch chuck will have a bigger motor than a 3/8" or a 1/4".
