Description
Product Overview
Break new ground or maintain established garden beds with precision and ease using the Toro 17 in. Dual-Direction Rear-Tine Gas Tiller. Powered by a reliable 127cc Briggs & Stratton 4-cycle engine, this tiller delivers powerful, consistent performance while maintaining excellent maneuverability. Designed for both heavy-duty soil breaking and fine seedbed preparation, its dual-direction tines can be switched between CRT (Counter-Rotating Tines) and SRT (Standard Rotating Tines) modes for versatile tilling in all soil conditions.
This rear-tine tiller features instant reverse—a convenient handle-controlled reverse function that eliminates the need to shift gears—making it easier to navigate tight corners and back out of difficult spots. The low center of gravity, achieved by centralizing the transmission, enhances stability, control, and balance. Large, durable airless tires provide excellent traction without the risk of flats, and the dual control handlebars enable single- or two-handed operation for greater precision and comfort.
