Product Usage-

The industry of power tiller manufacturers is growing rapidly as many farmers are now being aware of the benefits of this product and is a great option for cost cutting. Other than India, it is also used by many nations such as Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil, Germany etc. This product is now chosen over tractors as it can be used in all types of terrain, can easily fit in any given area and requires low maintenance. They are the ideal choice for farmers who have small sized farms. There are mainly three types of power tillers-

• Mini tillers are the best choice for gardeners with confined strength.
• Mid sized front line tillers are used for home gardens and can also be used for moderate tilling work.
• Large sized rear tine tillers are used for tilling a large piece of land
• The handlebar can also be adjusted without making use of any tools

Depending on the size, horsepower, brand, and quality of the motorized tiller, the price might vary greatly. Customers can typically rent tillers from home improvement retailers for a single occasion. A machine’s price may also differ depending on whether it is a front-tine or rear-tine tiller, with the latter frequently being the more expensive option. Although storage and upkeep are essential factors in these situations, those who consistently maintain a large garden may discover that simply purchasing a gadget is more cost-effective than renting one multiple times a year. This needs some maintenance, just like any other piece of motorized lawn equipment. It can survive decades or more with some care, but misuse can lead to damage and malfunction, both of which can be harmful. Before keeping a device for an extended period of time, for instance, users should make sure to empty the fuel tank and give it a thorough cleaning. They should also be careful to remove debris and farm waste after each run.
