A true horticultural workhorse, the commercial-duty Feider RTF4020 Pro Rear-Tine Tiller offers an attractive combination of a seriously powerful 208cc four-stroke engine with substantial tractor-type tyres and an expansive 40cm working-width! You’ll also get a two-speed gearbox for enhanced versatility and manoeuvrability; and an ergonomically configured handlebar arrangement for excellent user-comfort.

The Apache RTT3 is a high-powered rear-tine cultivator that runs on large-diameter pneumatic tyres for traction in the toughest conditions. Driven by a 6.5hp Briggs & Stratton Intek OHV engine, it has an expansive 60cm tilling-width; heat treated, self cleaning tines; and an adjustable depth-gauge. The primary drive is via V-belt, with the final drive to the wheels and rotors via an oil-bathed chain. There are two forward-speeds and one reverse-speed for easy control; and the handlebars can be height-adjusted. This is the top-of-the-range Apache garden-cultivator and has been engineered to make light work of the toughest ground-preparation jobs.

Of heavy-duty construction and powered by a commercial-grade 205cc Briggs & Stratton engine, the high-performance Stiga Silex 103B Cultivator is ready to take-on the most demanding cultivating and tilling tasks the domestic gardener is likely to encounter. It features a three-speed transmission, so it offers a level of manoeuvrability that belies its size; and it’s fitted with a three-stage height-adjustable handlebar that can be made comfortable for any operator. This model has a substantial 60cm working-width that will see you cover large areas in quick-time.

The MTD T450 Rear-Tine Tiller offers forward- and reverse-gears and dual-direction tines. This means it's not only capable of breaking-up hard soil when the tines are in reverse drive (like a standard rear-tine tiller), but can also be used to create a fine tilth for planting when forward-drive is selected. This heavy-duty model has 33cm solid-steel tines; a commercial-grade 205cc Briggs & Stratton OHV engine; and a generous 46cm tilling-width. Superior features include individual wheel-engagement for easy turning; and large 355mm pneumatic-tyres for enhanced manoeuvrability.

This heavy-duty domestic-use cultivator from Bertolini is characterised by its blend of user-friendly operation; rugged build-quality; and lightweight handling. It’s powered by Honda’s ever-popular 4.8hp GX160 overhead-valve engine, so low running-costs and solid reliability are assured; and it features a two-speed transmission (1 + 1), which is oil-immersed for reduced wear and therefore a longer service-life. The Bertolini BT401S has a working-width of 50cm, which can be narrowed to 35cm for inter-row applications.

The Italian-built Bertolini BT405 offers the sort of rock-solid reliability and lightweight, well-balanced handling that are essential for those regularly tackling tough tilling and cultivation tasks. It offers a generous 60cm working-width, which can be narrowed for secondary tillage between crop rows; and it has a four-speed transmission (2 + 2) that ensures it’s highly manoeuvrable and easy to free should it become dug-in. Power comes from a 196cc Honda OHV engine, which has been isolated from the height-adjustable handlebar for reduced vibration-transfer.

The Efco MZ2055 rotary cultivator is an ideal cultivator for home gardeners who need to prepare vegetable plots, flower and plant beds for seeding.
