Our walk-behind rototiller gives you the convenience of dual tine rotation, allowing you to easily switch between forward and counter tine rotation. For tilling or cultivating in established gardens, go with forward rotation. Switch to counter-rotation for sod-busting or loosening of compacted soil. The drag stake provides extra resistance. When not needed, it can be raised and pinned in place. The debris shield and side walls protect operator from thrown soil. Either way, the self-propelled, tractor-style wheels pull the tiller along, making the job easy on you!
