A rotary tiller is a motorized cultivator that uses rotating blades to loosen and turn soil. A rotavator is a motorized garden tool that uses rotating blades to till soil.
A power tiller is a versatile and powerful machine used for a variety of tasks such as tillage, ploughing, harrowing, and seedbed preparation. Power tillers are usually self-propelled and can be operated by a single person. They are an essential tool for small-scale farmers and can be used in a variety of settings, including wet or dry fields, on slopes, and in tight spaces. Power tillers can significantly reduce the amount of time and labor required for various farming tasks, making them an invaluable asset for small-scale farmers.
The main components of a power tiller are the engine, transmission, axle, and wheels. The engine is the heart of the machine and provides the power to drive the transmission, which in turn powers the axle and wheels. The transmission is a critical component of the power tiller, as it transfers power from the engine to the wheels. The axle is the central shaft that connects the wheels to the power tiller, and the wheels provide the traction necessary to move the machine forward.
There are two types of power tillers: walk-behind and riding. Walk-behind power tillers are small and lightweight, making them easy to maneuver. They’re ideal for small gardens and yards. Riding power tillers are larger and heavier, making them better suited for larger areas.

The previous several years, my garden had not been adequately cared for and was overgrown. I used a shovel to flip the raised beds over a week ago. I constructed the Mantis last night and attacked the mattresses after about 30 minutes. They were covered in dense clumps of weeds and grass.This adorable little tiller made a BIG impression on me. It works well, is quiet, and is simple to use. Some of the clumps were chewed all the way through, while others were spit out the rear. I shook the dirt from the naughtiest ones and put them in the compost container. The vast majority were spit out after being chewed up. Keep it, please.Perfect for raised beds. Small enough to fit yet strong enough to penetrate and disrupt the clusters.Longer grasses that wind up wrapped around the shaft of the tines do get collected. I took frequent breaks to clear the tines. I see this as payback for ignoring the garden for so long, not as the tiller's fault.The Honda engine is simple to start, quiet, and powerful enough to complete the task. It only became stuck once, when the tines became so clogged with grass and weeds that they were impossible to turn.It's quite light. It would be easy for my wife to move it around the house and handle it in the garden. Given that it was Mother's Day yesterday, I declined to give her the "opportunity" to use the Mantis. However, I believe she will feel at ease using it.

Background: To begin with, let me say that I have never used a rototiller before, so I cannot compare it to anything. I bought this product to reseed a 50 by 50-foot section of my lawn that had been overrun by crabgrass. I used a rake for a short while before deciding to buy a roto-tiller to finish the task. Generally speaking, I prefer high-end, gas-powered equipment. But since I would only sometimes use it, I thought a gas-powered tiller might not be the greatest choice due to prolonged inactivity. After reading various reviews, I made the decision to buy this unit.First of all, because of the unit's current rating (12 amps), I bought a 12/3 extension chord. The majority of extension cords are unable to supply this device's current. You should definitely follow my advice. The item is delivered in three sections and assembles easily. The unit's weight is moderate and shouldn't be a problem for most users. I'd want to start by saying that I was quite impressed. Despite the fact that my yard is not particularly rocky, it was easy to cut through the weeds and compacted dirt. I began making the modification at its deepest point but quickly recognized it was excessive. The object excavated a hole and buried itself with ease. After some readjusting, I discovered a position that dug down between 4 and 6 inches. At this depth, the unit was incredibly controllable. To pass through the "mounded" dirt created by deeper depths, more effort is needed. When the device did come across rocks, it removed them with ease. Many were in the 4" to 5" range. The 50' x 50' section took, in my estimation, between 45 and 60 minutes to complete. I didn't labor nonstop; I took breaks occasionally to let the unit cool and rake the previously worked-on area. Only after reading comments from others claiming that they "burned out" their units did I allow the unit to cool. In all honesty, I believe that moving through this area continuously would have been acceptable. I should point out that the shaft is occasionally wrapped in long grass or weeds. To prevent them from slicing into the transmission seal and/or tying up the unit, you should occasionally clear them (see attached video). I believe this may be what led to the reports of units catching fire that were discussed earlier. In order to make the device more sturdy, others have suggested installing hose clamps at the handle connections. I used a tool to tighten my handles but afterwards realized that this was not essential. Not because it was the best tiller ever, but because it operated as well as or better than was anticipated or advertised, is why I gave it five stars.
4.6/5

I had first placed a mini-tiller order with another business. I canceled that order after more than two weeks of waiting for a "prime delivery" and ultimately ordered this mini-tiller from Earthquake, which came in two days. I put the unit together in under 10 minutes (or less). I fueled up the appliance and added the oil can that was included. When I pulled the cable to try to start it, I had a little difficulties, but then I realized I hadn't primed it. I pulled on the cord and it immediately started up after I pumped the priming bulb a few times till I could see the gas in the gas line. I shifted the tiller to the bed I intended to use for the test. The bed, which was roughly 25 feet by 6 feet, had a layer of mushroom compost on top that was 3 to 4 inches thick. The tiller performed flawlessly. I got a wonderful, even mixture of compost and dirt in a matter of minutes. It really did a great job of softening the ground up to a depth of about 6 inches or so when I raised the rear wheel and made another pass. Clearly, this type of tilling is what the device was designed for. It wouldn't work very well, or I don't think any mini-tiller would, if the terrain wasn't prepared or was very hard. Anyway, I'm really pleased with the outcomes and can't wait to use the tiller on my 20 feet by 20 feet communal garden plot. Additionally, I saved $20–$30 by purchasing it on Amazon as opposed to at one of my neighborhood big box retailers.

For those who just want the gist, I chose the Earthwise because it provided the most functionality for the smallest price. It isn't perfect (as could be said for all the others), but it is a true workhorse that performs on par with or better than equipment that costs two times as much (or more). Fast tine speed to go through challenging material. The biggest issue is that it buckles quickly.Complete review My dependable 25-year-old 2 cycle gas tiller/cultivator needed to be replaced (the engine still purrs, but the transmission bit the dust), so I chose an electric one after hearing several members of my gardening club gush about theirs. But which should I buy? I was able to test out several over the course of a few weeks, so I thought I'd post my thoughts to help those who are in a similar scenario.The Sun Joe TJ600E Tiller Joe Garden 14-Inch 6.5 amp Electric Tiller/Cultivator was presented first. One of my garden club friends bought it at Costco about a year ago, and he only had positive things to say about it. But after utilizing it for a half-hour, I was only able to complain. Even though it possessed a reasonable amount of power and a wheel-less construction (more on the wheels later), I found the machine's two handle layout to be extremely hard to use and it severely hurt my shoulders and lower back. The handle position made it difficult for me to manage when it bucks again (as all tillers do). So Joe's response was no. In addition, I had a negative encounter with this brand's snow thrower. I never received a response from the company to have it fixed after it broke. The Sun Joe was eliminated from my list because to a handle issue, but inadequate support also played a role.The Troy-Bilt TB154E 9-Inch 6.5-Amp Electric Garden Cultivator/Tiller came in second.Because of the sturdy construction and the form of the tines, I really enjoyed this. Additionally, I appreciate the brand because I grew up using an unbreakable rear-tine Troy-Bilt tiller (back in the days when they were an independent company and not owned by MTD).The Troy-wheel Bilt's design and general pace both turned me off. While making movement simpler, the wheels also restrict how deep you can dig. It is less of a bucking bronco in use because to the slower tine speed, but it is also slower to operate and does not cut through large clods, vines, and plants nearly as well as other tillers. When incorporating compost into a bed that has already been tilled, the slower tine speed does make it more effective. It's reasonably priced (as long as you purchase it while the price is falling) and if the Earthwise wasn't an option, I would have gone with this one instead.I have nothing negative to say about the Mantis electric Mantis 7250-00-02 3-Speed Electric Tiller/performance Cultivator's or design. Numerous wonderful features, including the multi-speed, excellent build quality, and no wheel troubles (which none of the others have). Mantis has been producing small gas tillers for a long time, and their excellently made electric version bears this out. Very quick tine speed and very little bucking because to the shape of the tines. It features two handles, just like the Sun Joe, but they are closer together, making it much more pleasant to use. The price was the only factor keeping it from being my first choice—ouch! I didn't want to spend so much money because it is rather pricey.The Greenworks 27012 10-Inch 8 Amp Electric Cultivator/Tiller caused me to feel conflicted. On the bright side, it was easier to use than the Troy and had more power and faster tine speed. The drawbacks were once more the wheel design, but once more, my wheel issues could be because my former tiller lacked any wheels at all, thus my issue might be resolved by becoming accustomed to wheels. Because they are more adaptable than the Troy's wheels, they did not cause as much of a problem. The tines' problems with durability were the second significant drawback. The machine I used had been around for approximately a year, and the tines were in terrible shape. The owner, a member of my garden club, claimed that he initially used it to break new ground and ran into many rocks. The metal seemed to be of lower grade than in previous tillers, therefore the tines should have held up better.The new Black and Decker model TL10 appears quite well made, but I haven't had a chance to use it (Amazon offers it, but for some reason I can't include a product link to it). High-powered motor, and I like how you can add weight to the device by putting sand in a container. Although little weight is wonderful for maneuverability, it also requires more effort on your part to keep the machine digging. So, remove the sand container from this unit if you want it to be lighter. You want it heavy? Affix it. Wonderful! However, all of these benefits come at a cost, and for me, that was what put an end to my interest. Again, I haven't used or observed one in use, so I can only speculate as to how it would function. They also sell a cordless device (model CTL36) that appears appealing but is even more expensive than the TL10.For one very important factor—price—the Earthwise was my choice. Even without the 20% discount I had access to through my Amazon Visa card, it cost less than $100. It was quite affordable with the coupon (sorry, couldn't resist that pun).The built quality is respectable and superior to my expectations given the pricing. With tine speeds far faster than 6 amp models like the Troy-Bilt, it makes the most of its 8 amp motor. It travels at a speed I'd say is comparable to the Mantis (could not use them side-by-side, so my estimation may be incorrect). Due to the rapid tine speed, it can quickly plow through large clumps of clay, roots, vegetation, and other obstructions. The handles have several gripping options and are pleasant.The major drawback of all this speed is that it bucks violently when it encounters an object like a large rock. It needs to be held very tightly in your hands or you risk it getting out of control. I find that a faster tine speed works better for my needs and my garden when I use the machine mostly for late-fall pre-winter tilling and initial spring planting prep tilling. Since combining compost and top dressing by hand is simple, I don't do it very often.The Earthwise's wheel design is another enormous plus. They flip down when you simply need to scratch the surface an inch or two to weed between beds or top dress, but they flip up when you need to dig deeply. I adore that function!In order to reduce shipping damage, it is delivered in a box that is well-packed. Mine came in excellent condition.It's not flawless. Regarding the switch and handle assembly quality, the low price is evident. Quite weak compared to the more expensive computers, but still acceptable. The manual is at best mediocre. I tried to follow the written directions at first, which caused me to initially have issues with assembly. After giving up on the instructions and relying solely on the illustration of the finished machine on the manual's cover, things went considerably better. But keep in mind that I only put this one together, so there might be problems with the others as well.In summary, the models in my rating are:Earthwise is by far the finest bargain. Powerful, quick-turning tines, and wheels that move out of the way so you can dig deeply. The biggest issue is that when you strike something, it can buck.If not for the price, Mantis would be at the top of the list. Far too expensive; for the price of one Mantis (and that does not include the cost of accessories), you could get three Earthwise machines, and they are not three times better.Troy-Bilt offers great performance despite its slower tine speed. Best option if deep tilling is less important to you than top dressing or blending jobs in compost.Weak tines prevent it from rising above the Troy and maintain it in a knot.>>Sun Joe -

This device is incredible. Given that this is my first time using a tiller or cultivator, I can't really make any comparisons. Having said that, I can state that with just one use, this has already paid for itself.A five-year-old could put it together in approximately five minutes.The battery is half charged when it is first opened in the box. It took about 40 to 45 minutes to fully charge it after that.My first usage for this was to clear out a space on the side of my house, which proved challenging because the dirt there is quite hard, making it painful to use ordinary hand tools.On level II, this little kid traversed the entire region in ten minutes. According to the battery's lights, that ultimately caused the battery to lose half of its capacity. (Uncertain of how long it would have lasted on level I)In all honesty, tilling this area (8' x 22') took longer for me than it did to rake out the weeds and pebbles.Given how long it takes to charge, I do wish the battery life was a little bit longer (estimated 90 minutes from empty). I can understand why the working life is so brief, though, given the labor it does. I don't really see the necessity to purchase a second battery in that same context. Given that you'll probably finish working whatever area you're tilling after just one battery charge, it's not really warranted at almost $150.Because it just weights a little over 20 lbs, it can occasionally get a touch jerky when in use. This increases mobility but also occasionally increases instability. However, this tiller is often quite simple to use. Sincerely, I am eager to apply this to another part of the front yard.I wish Mantis would release a complete line of lawn/yard care tools that utilised this battery pack just based on how well this operated. I would purchase it everything.

after owning a seasonal tiller of the Toro brand, I bought this machine (use one season then have to throw it away). A powerful 6.5 horsepower Kohler engine powers this tiller. In the fire department, Kohler engines are used on our equipment, and because they are used daily and for an extended period of time, they must be reliable. This engine is the best option available. I anticipate that this will survive longer than I want to garden because the frame is properly coated and made of heavier steel (though it's still easy to deal with). This stuff doesn't care if the ground is hard clay or pre-tilled. It's a fantastic gadget, and I was impressed because it had been a while since I had bought a gas-powered tool. I'm awestruck. Thank you for creating a long-lasting structure!

I had some reservations about this product after reading complaints from others that it did not till well or that any foreign objects tended to crack the plastic casing that served as its protection. The tines, according to some, are also easily bendable. I had some prior experience with full-sized rotor tillers from Troy-Bilt and Craftsman, so I knew how to avoid damaging the area I was tilling. The way it attacked the region impressed and shocked me both. With a 27cc trimmer head, this machine pounded the dirt superbly and dug in like a full-sized machine. In order to get the tines of the tiller to penetrate the soil, you must work backwards in the area being tilled. The full-size tillers are the opposite of this. Don't try to move ahead with this unit because it won't attack the ground and the head will bounce around a lot. You must be careful while applying the head to the work area quickly and forcefully since it brought rocks to the surface. I easily tilled a 30 by 20-foot space while working in all directions. Given that self-locking Lynch pins keep the tines in place, cleaning the device was a breeze. It only takes a few seconds to remove the pins and slip the tines off to clean the shafts.

My hubby used to perform all of my garden digging. . . Then, we suffered serious injuries. You don't need to press hard on the cultivator - it does the work on its own. This isn't really for continuous long periods of time for cultivation, but it will work on those smaller jobs of planting annuals, etc. If it gets a little warm, that's normal. I just let it cool down for a few minutes. It's important to remember not to run this with the water on.
