Overview
Breaking through sod and digging holes for shrubs and trees is the job of this compact gas tiller, which weighs very little for its class. Reversible tines switch it from tilling to cultivating and weeding.
The reason to buy is the light weight with real digging power, plus an easier starting system and a thumb-reach throttle. The limitation is working width, which the listing does not state, so large plots will take many passes.
Who it's for
Gardeners who break sod, plant shrubs and weed between rows will use the light frame and flip-around tines. Owners of large vegetable plots, or those wanting an electric or battery tiller, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Light and compact
- FastStart for easier starts
- Reversible tines for cultivating
- Kickstand attachment included
- Tilling width not stated
- Gas engine means fuel handling
- Narrow for large plots
- Engine size not listed
Performance notes
A gas engine spins the tines to break sod and dig holes faster than a shovel. Flipping the tines around gives a cultivating position for weeding around delicate plants and seedlings. The infinite speed control on the palm switch lets you slow the tines near plants, and the FastStart system lowers the effort to start.
