Does Husqvarna make a rear tine tiller?
Our range comprises two different types of tillers: rear-tine and front-tine. If you have a number of small patches and flower beds in your garden, ensure that the tiller you choose has carrying handles or transport wheels. By contrast, the rear-tine tiller is great for deep tilling, can cover large, wide, open areas quickly, but it is more expensive and not as precise as a front-tine tiller.
How do I choose the right tiller?
The right tiller depends on garden size and soil type – small cultivators are suitable for light beds, while rear-tine models are better suited for tough ground. Proper soil preparation boosts plant health, but over-tilling can harm soil structure and waste effort. The tiller’s working width should match the width of your tractor. Using a tiller that’s wider than your tractor’s rear tires ensures you won’t compact freshly tilled soil. On the other hand, wider tillers may require more power than compact tractors can provide. Balance the width with your tractor’s capabilities.
Are rear tine tillers better?

If your jobs are mostly light, it’s smart to buy an easy-to-use cultivator to maintain your garden. If you’re breaking new ground frequently, a tiller might be your best bet. Remember, if you need a heavier duty tool less frequently you can always rent a tiller for the day.
Which is better, forward or reverse tiller?
A rotary tiller with forward facing tines won’t reach as far into the ground as a reverse tiller, but It will have a finer texture. In contrast, a reverse tiller will take more horsepower, but it will reach further into the soil while making it a rougher texture. Is there a certain direction I have to go with the tiller?

What size tiller for grass?
In this case, go with a mid-size front-tined tiller. A four horsepower model is easy to handle and maneuver in tight spaces.
