The MTD T450 offers the sort of rugged construction-quality; flexibility-of-use; and comfortable handling that are essential for commercial horticulturalists who are regularly undertaking intensive cultivation applications. It’s characterised by its dual-direction tines, which can be set to rotate in reverse; perfect when preparing areas for seeding; or forward; ideal if you’re breaking-up large areas of compacted virgin ground. The tines themselves give a working-width of 46cm and have been heat-treated for extra strength. Driving MTD T450 Rear Tine-Tiller is fitted with a seriously powerful 6.5hp Briggs & Stratton engine, which, thanks to its overhead-valve design, you’ll find clean-burning; ultra-reliable; and impressively fuel-efficient. As you’d expect from a B & S power-unit, starting is fast and consistently dependable. The chain & gear-driven transmission on this model is oil-bathed and housed within a permanently sealed casing, so year after year of unfailing, maintenance-free service is assured. The provision of a reverse gear aids manoeuvrability, as do the individually engageable wheels. Additional features include a front-mounted counterweight for optimum balance; and a height-adjustable handlebar, which makes it possible to achieve the perfect operating position.
Whether you’re looking to turn-over large areas of virgin ground prior to seeding, or need to weed and aerate between rows of established plants, the adjustable working-width (33- 61cc) on the MTD T330M ensures it will prove the perfect work-partner. Power from its dependable and economical 179cc MTD ThorX 55-H engine is sent to the set of 16 (4 x 4) specially hardened, sprung-steel tines via heavy-duty, high-torque gearing, so you’ll be able to break-up even compacted or clay-laden soils without problem (the tines are self-sharpening for reduced maintenance). The MTD T330M Garden Cultivator is equipped with an adjustable drag-stake that not only helps to anchor the machine, but also enables you to adjust the forward-speed and working-depth. An ergonomic, height-adjustable handlebar with conveniently positioned controls makes the tiller really comfortable to work with; while a permanently sealed chain-case ensures years of unfailing service, no maintenance required.
Developing lots of power and utilising robust, hardwearing components throughout, this heavy-duty rear-tine tiller from MTD is well-placed to deal with tough allotment- and smallholding-based tilling applications. Making it tick is a high-end Industrial / Commercial Briggs & Stratton engine that produces a beefy 6hp, and which employs the U.S. manufacturer’s advanced overhead-valve technology for environmental compliance; significantly cheaper fuel-costs; and reduced maintenance requirements. The MTD T405 Rear-Tine Tiller has been fitted with 16 heat-treated, self-sharpening tines, which are made from sprung-steel – this means that they will simply flex slightly rather than break when placed under extreme stresses (the tines give a 43cm working-width and are dual rotating). Power is delivered to the tines via a professional-grade chain reduction transmission, which is permanently sealed in an oil-bath for years of rock-solid service. Thanks to its wide-profile, large-diameter chevron-patterned pneumatic tyres, the MTD T405 can be used in the most adverse conditions and remains stable on uneven ground. It has a front-mounted weight-box, which you can sand-ballast should you need the tines to dig-in a bit more; and it features a serrated steel ‘groomer’ that trails behind the tiller, leaving the freshly cultivated earth looking neat and tidy.
