FEATURES

The advantage of the 

CountyLine® gear drive front tine rototiller,

 over other front tine 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.
