It saves valuable time and effort compared to using a fork or spade. The adjustable blades allow the user to work in tight spaces, such as flower beds or with the addition of the two outer rotors, the work area can be easily increased. The six hard-wearing rotors are manufactured from hardened steel and will go to a depth of 220mm, deep enough to free up compacted earth and allow air into the mix. This will also enable easy weed removal, the addition of fertilisers and soil improvers and facilitates bulb planting in the spring. The tiller features a safety switch that ensures it can't be started up accidentally; the user needs two hands to commence operation. The electronic brake ensures that the motor will stop and the blade stops spinning, the instant the trigger is released. This tiller features a powerful 1500W motor, wheels to aid manoeuvrability and fold-down handles to facilitate storage in an overcrowded shed. This is a practical solution to improving a garden or allotment. Voltage: 230V. Input power: 1500W.
