Produced by Roper Corporation for Sears under the Craftsman brand, this tiller is equipped with a 6.5 HP engine and a 19-inch tine width. An integral aspect of its design is the dual rotating tines which can operate in both counter-rotating and forward rotating modes.
This tiller is powered by a 6.5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine and uses regular unleaded gasoline. The tiller has several adjustable features, including handle height, depth stake, and drag stake, which allow for versatile tilling and cultivating experiences. The machine also has outer side shields to safeguard small plants from being buried during the tilling process. The transmission supports forward, neutral and reverse gears, while the wheels and tines can work independently or together. Throttle control can be adjusted to set the tilling speed.
