5 Best Front Tine Garden Tillers

Gardening is something that almost everyone tries at some point in their life, even if it is getting a flower pot with a flower for the apartment, but when you garden you need to realize it is a job and a hobby combined. The job part comes from the fact that you have to get the ground prepared and then you have to make sure everything is properly tiled and that is where the big challenge comes in because if you have anything larger than a six by six garden you most likely will not want to do this by hand because it literally will take you all day to complete. This is why I have decided to look at the different garden tillers on the market and after looking at the rear tillers and seeing the price they come with, I decided it was time to consider the front tine garden tillers. When I did this, I came up with the list of what I consider the 5 best front tine garden tillers to help you in getting your garden tilled up and ready for planting in the spring.

How Did I Narrow Down My List

Well, I will be honest I did quite a bit of research on the products that I am presenting here. Some of these are fairly new, which is nice, but the reliability may not be known based off of the product and the brand. However, at the same time, I considered the size of the tiller as well. I can tell you if you have a tiller that is too small you will be at your garden all day, without making any progress too large of a tiller and you will be having trouble getting it through the garden gate. Finally, I looked at the motor and the reputation of the motor, which I consider part of, but at the same time separate from the tiller itself since the motors are usually made by a different company. With that being the case, here is our list of the five best front tine garden tillers.

5. Cub Cadet FT24 Front Tine Tiller

The Cub Cadet tiller here is one that you are going to like because it will definitely have plenty of power to get in the ground. However, it will also make it easier for you to complete the work you are doing. The best part is this is a tiller that is very easy on the wallet as the gas tank tends to last forever it would seem like when you are using this. The downside is this does make it difficult for you to get a break in if you tell yourself that you are going to use the tiller until it runs out of gas.

Now, this is a Cub Cadet product, which means it is key for you to keep up to date on the maintenance. Since this is the case, you will want to make sure you change the oil about ever five hours and before the start of the season. At the same time, you need to check the tines on a regular basis to guarantee they are not getting filled in with dirt or weeds.

4. Earthquake 20015 Versa Front Tine Tiller Cultivator

The Earthquake model that you have here is one that is going to serve a dual purpose, which makes it nice. That is because this is a model that is going to make it easier for you to have a tiller and a cultivator on the same tool. So you will be able to save some money on the addition of the extra products that you are going to need to get. Now that is definitely going to make it easier for you to see this is a great tiller that serves dual purpose.

What I really like about this model is it has a lower center of gravity than a lot of the tillers on the market. This lower center of gravity means it will not tip over on you, but it is also easier for you to handle when you are out in the garden. So this definitely makes this an easier model to use while tilling the garden compared to some of the tillers that we have seen on the market so far.

3. Troy-Bilt Colt 208cc Forward Rotating Front Tine Tiller

Troy-Bilt has a great little tiller here that has quite a few things going for it. The main thing that you will notice this tiller has going for it is the fact that it will allow you to have the front powered tines, but it also makes it easier for you to get the power you want to have to the tines with the chain drive. This is different than some of the other models that are using the belts to get the tiller to move forward. The belts can break or slip easily, a chain can stretch, but it takes a lot of work and abuse.

A great feature that I really fell in love with on this tiller is the fact that it is going to be adjustable on the width of the till. This makes it quite a bit easier for you to have a tiller that is going to work for what you need to have, but also helps ensure you are only getting the proper size done for the tilling. No matter what you will love the fact this tiller will help you out in getting the proper size for your garden and know it will be tilled properly.

2. Champion 22-Inch Dual Rotating Front Tine Tiller

Champion is a fairly new brand and it is one that we found interesting and I have to say it kind of piqued my interest. However, I do not know a lot about this brand of tiller and that will make it a challenge to really provide information on the reliability of the product. I can tell you that from what I read online the company and the brand is a good one and has been shown to last for a long period of time.So this is definitely a plus when you are looking at the tillers and nothing says new is bad as this does have a couple of great features that I really fell in love with.

The expandable and contraction on the size of the tiller is the main thing that I really like. This is going to allow you to find the size adjustment to fit your needs and at the same time, it makes it easier for you to have a tiller that you can use for a long period of time. However, with this garden tiller you will find that it is going to work for your needs and with the adjustable width of the path make it easier for you to get the entire garden tilled quickly.

1. Husqvarna TF224 Front Tine Tiller Walk Behind

The Husqvarna brand of a tiller is one that you will be able to trust because the brand has a great reputation and it is one that has been around for quite some time. What is even better is the motors on the Husqvarna brand equipment tends to be very durable as well. So you will not have to be concerned about the motor cutting out on you. With that being said, it also adds to an expensive piece of equipment as well for the garden.

The best part with this tiller is the fact that it has an easy start feature. This is going to make it easier for you to start the tiller and know it will work for what you need to have. However, what is nice is the fact the size of the tiller is compact and will make it a little bit easier for you to get the tiller moved around the garden because it does have a size that is easy to move around.

How To Pick From Our List Of Front Tine Garden Tillers

Well, I have to say that this is going to be the fun part and that is trying to figure out which one off of the list we have here to pick from. I have to admit all of these are fairly evenly matched up on power and even the type of work they are going to do. It really comes down to picking the brand that will work for your needs and will allow you to have the garden tilled up quickly. With that being said, we are going to have to say I really like the Husqvarna brand, but if you want to have a decent brand at a reasonable price then the Cub Cadet tiller is a nice one that you can enjoy using.
