The advantage of the

Benchmark

Front Tine Rototiller

, over other tillers, is the exclusive hinged tail

mount, wheel and drag stake assembly. This feature gives the tiller its stability and versatility. For easy transport

and quick turning in the garden, fold the wheels under the engine. During operation, the wheels unfold back and

the drag stake folds down. The long length between the tines and the drag stake make this the most comfortable

handling front tine tiller on the market.
