GARDEN EQUIPMENT: TILLERS
One of the most functional pieces of garden equipment, the garden tiller will loosen your garden soil expertly. The tiller's engine powers rotating blades, or tines, making your soil loose and fluffy, ready for planting. It can also chop up plant debris and mix it into the soil. Incorporating organic matter and manure into the garden is easily accomplished with this useful piece of garden equipment. The ability of your garden equipment to do these jobs effectively is a function of its weight, strength, design, and type of tines, as well as the type of soil you are working with your garden equipment.

A heavy powerful garden tiller is a most effective piece of garden equipment for stony, clay soils, while in a small garden or one with light soil, smaller tiller is a more appropriate piece of garden equipment.

Rear-tined tillers is garden equipment generally better able to self-propel on all but the rockiest soils. They travel straight and can produce a footprint-free seedbed. Rear-tined tillers often have a number of attachments available for a variety of uses, such as hilling potatoes, making raised beds, even plowing snow! (Now that's garden equipment you can use!)

Front-tined tillers work well as small garden equipment. They are usually light in weight, but may require considerable strength to guide them through the soil. Operating this type of tiller is comparable to handling a large floor polisher, such as those used in schools and hospitals; mainly, leverage is required for control.

A tiller is a major lawn care investment. Features to look for include heavy cast-iron, steel plate and tubing, heavy bearings, strong welds used in construction, and easily operable controls.
