Overview
A four cycle engine spins tines on this compact cultivator to weed, mix in fertilizer and aerate loose soil. It starts from behind the handlebars and is light enough to carry between garden beds.
Running straight gasoline with no oil mix and starting without bending make it easy to live with. It works pre-tilled earth only, so hard sod or new beds need a larger tiller first.
Who it's for
Vegetable gardeners and landscapers tending existing beds get a nimble machine that works close to plants. Those starting a new plot from lawn need a heavier rear or front tine tiller.
Pros and cons
- No oil and fuel mixing
- Quieter four cycle engine
- Light and easy to transport
- Accepts optional edger and dethatcher kits
- Only for pre-tilled soil
- Tilling width not listed
- Accessory kits sold separately
Performance notes
Small tines on a light frame churn loose soil rather than bite into hard ground, which is why the maker limits it to pre-tilled earth. Low weight helps steering around delicate plants but reduces digging pressure.
