It’s just about time to start work in earnest in the vegetable plot and allotment as some salads can be sown late next month, so here are two tillers to make life easier and prevent a possible bad back.
Just the job: Einhell petrol garden tiller
Einhell is a leading German engineering company and this tiller is just the job with four 4-bladed rotors and a tilling width if 36 cm, just about right to till between planted rows of crops.
The tilling depth can be altered by the adjustable brake skid to a maximum of 23 cm.
The drive is from a four-stroke 4.5 hp engine, and there is a deadman’s handle which stops the machine when it is released, a useful safety feature.
The handlebar can be adjusted to suit the height of the user.
It costs £239.95, a substantial reduction on the manufacturer’s recommended price of £389.95.
Delivery is free the next working day and there is a two year maker’s guarantee.
Great performer: MD Super Compact Tiller
This tiller is ideal for medium sized vegetable plots and allotments and is idea for giving the soil a good turning over before tilling again in preparation for sowing with seeds or young plants.
This one has a super reliable 148 cc Briggs & Stratton engine, easy to start and smooth in running.
The working width is 380 mm and it tills to a depth of 260 mm.
The handles can be adjusted and folded down for more compact storage. And transport wheels at the back of the tiller make it easy to move around when not is use.
You can currently save £120 on the manufacturer’s recommended price as it costs just £279.95.
Delivery is free the next working day and there is a two year maker’s guarantee.
