What to Look For When Buying a New Garden Tiller / Cultivator

For those who have ever prepared a garden plot for vegetables or flowers will know just how hard the work can be. After spending a day digging and forking over compacted earth you will end up aching with muscles you never even realised you had.

But there is an easier way to overcome this back-breaking work. Simply purchase a small garden tiller or cultivator and let it do all the hard work for you.

These days there are a lot of small garden tillers around that range in price from just over $100 up to the mid $300 mark. The problem is, knowing which one is the right one for you and your garden.

Firstly, the size of your garden plot needs to be considered. If you have a plot of land that is large, say half an acre or more, then you will need to look at one of the more industrial machines to complete this task. But, for those who have a small garden up to half an acre in size the range of small garden tillers are just the job.

Basically there are three different sorts of garden tillers to chose from, the 2-cycle and 4-cycle gas engine and the electric powered engine. All seem to have the power to do the job required, it comes down to personal taste as to which machine you purchase. I have heard from some people that they preferred the 4-cycle engine rather than the 2-cycle engine because there is no need to mix the gas and oil together with this machine. Plus they say it is a lot quieter than the 2-cycle engine. Having said that just as many people have stated the preferred the 2-cycle engine such as the Mantis 7225-15-02.

Other people who purchased a garden tiller bought an electric powered engine such as the Troy-Bilt TB154E due to its ease in starting and virtual silent running.

These are some of the things you need to consider when looking to purchase a new garden tiller. If your house is close to your neighbors and you want to start work on your plot early in the morning it might be best to look at an electric powered engine rather than a noisey 2-cycle engine. Also, if you are short on time and want to quickly til a few vegetable beds you don´t want to spend an age trying to fire up a gas powered engine.

Having said that it might be that you don´t have a power supply near your garden plot, or don´t want the worry of running over the cable, in which case a tiller with a gas powered engine is the option for you.

Other things to look out for when purchasing a new garden tiller is to make sure the tines will til down to the depth you need. Many manufacturers claim their machines will til down to a depth of 10 inches. If you read the reviews of people who purchased these machines you will sometimes get a different story.

If you do chose to buy a gas powered garden tiller you need to ensure that it is CARB compliant, especially if you live in such areas as California where this is needed by law.

Also make sure the machine you are looking at gives a life-time warranty on the tines.

I hope you have enjoyed this article and have found it useful and wish you all the best in your new purchase.
