Driven by a 12 amp electric motor this tiller cuts an 18 in wide path to a 3.94 in tilling depth which handles flower bed prep vegetable row tilling and compost mix-in work across residential yards. Plug in power eliminates gas engine maintenance and oil changes and the instant start trigger skips pull cord frustration common on gas models. Six forged steel tines bite into soil and mix amendments evenly and the folding handle packs the unit down for offseason garage storage.
