Tillers

Tillers are essential for breaking up soil, prepping beds, and maintaining allotments. Designed for landscapers and gardeners, they turn compacted earth into workable soil - perfect for laying turf, planting, or creating a new vegetable patch. Robust tines and powerful engines ensure they handle tough ground effortlessly.

What Are Tillers Used For?

  • Soil Preparation Breaks up hard, compacted soil, making it easier to plant and improve soil health.
  • Weed Control Efficiently uproots weeds, reducing the need for chemical weed killers.
  • Bed Maintenance Keeps flower and vegetable beds in top condition, ready for seasonal planting.
  • Lawn Care Prepares ground for laying new turf or reseeding existing lawns.

Who Uses Tillers on Site?

  • Landscapers and gardeners who need to quickly prepare large areas of land for planting.
  • Allotment holders looking to maintain and improve their plots with minimal manual labour.
  • Groundskeepers and maintenance teams responsible for sports fields and public gardens.

Choosing the Right Tiller

Consider the size of the area and soil type when selecting your tiller:

1. Engine Power

For heavy clay or large areas, opt for a tiller with a more powerful engine (5HP or above). Smaller gardens or lighter soils can use models with less power.

2. Tine Rotation

Counter-rotating tines are ideal for breaking new ground, while forward-rotating tines are better for existing beds.

3. Width and Depth

Wider tillers cover more ground quickly, whereas narrower models allow for precision in tight spaces or around plants.

Tiller Accessories to Enhance Your Garden Work

Boost the efficiency and versatility of your tiller with these essential add-ons:

1. Row Marker

Attachable row markers help create straight planting lines, ensuring uniform rows for vegetables or flowers.

2. Hiller/Furrower Kit

Ideal for creating furrows for planting potatoes or forming raised beds, enhancing soil drainage.

Tiller FAQs

Can tillers handle rocky soil?

Yes, but it's best to clear larger stones first to avoid damaging the tines. Consider a heavy-duty model with reinforced tines for rocky conditions.

How deep do tillers usually dig?

Most tillers can dig to a depth of 6 to 8 inches, which is sufficient for most gardening tasks. Check the specifications for exact capabilities.

Are electric tillers as effective as petrol ones?

Electric tillers are quieter and easier to maintain, ideal for small to medium gardens. Petrol models offer more power for larger or tougher areas.
