Front tine tillers allow for closer tilling around obstacles and in small spaces. Their tines are positioned in front of the wheels, and the engine is mounted directly above the tines. The tines rotate in a forward direction. They generally cost less than a rear tine tiller of similar size and power.
Our Merry Tiller ST5.5h rental is the choice of serious gardeners. This Merry Tiller offers superior handling and better weight balance when compared to front tine tillers. The Suburban is great for just about any size garden, whether you need to break new ground, expand or create a new garden, or if you have a mature garden.
This front tine tiller rental features a double gear reduction transmission allowing the tiller to bust through just about any ground. The drag bar and wheel are easily adjusted with the simple pull of a pin. Pull one pin to release the wheels, lift them to the up position, and insert another pin. The drag bar can be adjusted for different soils.
Once the wheels are up and the drag bar is down, adjust the throttle from the operator’s position, squeeze the clutch handle and start tilling. The Suburban tills a 26-inch wide swath and can till up to 12 inches deep.
