Cub Cadet Rear-Tine Rototiller
Cub Cadet
Cub Cadet Rear-Tine Rototiller with self-propelled drive and gas OHV engine. Counter-rotating tines break through hard clay soil, dry ground, and untilled sod that front-tine consumer tillers can't touch. 18-inch tilling width, up to 7-inch tilling depth, 2 forward speeds plus reverse. Perfect for new garden bed prep, breaking out of lawn for raised beds, annual garden tilling before planting, lawn renovation, composting soil amendments, and weed-control turn-under. Self-propelled — the wheels do the work so you're not muscling 200+ pounds of tiller. Same class of tool Home Depot rents at $77/day. Closed-toe boots required. Valid driver's license + signed rental agreement required at pickup. Operator must be 18+.
