Useful to know
Rear-tine layout drives forward under its own power — the wheels walk the machine while the tines do the cutting independently, far less fatiguing than a front-tine over a long session.
Two-speed gearbox with a dedicated reverse means you can back out of a corner or a patch of soft ground without lifting 72kg of cultivator by hand.

The Spectrum TG480RTTR is the rear-tine cultivator to reach for when a front-tine machine has run out of muscle. With a 211cc 4-stroke OHV engine driving heavy-duty rotors through a belt-drive transmission, it's built to chew through compacted, stony or previously-uncultivated ground — the kind of conditions where lighter tillers bounce, stall or wear out.
Rear-tine layout — the engine pushes, the tines dig
Front-tine tillers rely on the operator's weight to bite into the soil. Rear-tine machines like the TG480RTTR drive forward under their own power and let the tines do the cutting independently — far less fatiguing over a long session, and the only sensible option for hard or virgin ground. The wheels do the walking; you do the steering.
211cc OHV engine built for serious workloads
The air-cooled, overhead-valve engine is the heart of the machine. OHV construction runs cooler, burns fuel more cleanly and produces lower emissions than older side-valve designs — which translates to longer service intervals and a quieter, less smoky machine in use. The 3.6-litre fuel tank keeps you working for hours between refills.
48cm working width and 20cm digging depth
A 48cm tilling width covers ground quickly without making the machine unwieldy in a domestic allotment or rear garden. The tines dig to a maximum depth of 20cm — deep enough to prepare a vegetable bed properly or break up a long-neglected lawn before re-seeding.
One forward, one reverse — easy to manoeuvre out of trouble
A two-speed gearbox with a dedicated reverse means you can back the machine out of a corner, a hedge line or a patch of unexpectedly soft ground without lifting 72kg of cultivator by hand. Pneumatic tyres on both drive wheels keep the machine steady across uneven plots.
