How to use a Tiller and selecting the right Tiller for you!

It's time to Till!



               Hello, my name is Cody Szychoski here at Equipment & Event Rental. Our staff is very knowledgeable and committed to our customer’s safety and satisfaction with our equipment. We hold weekly rental meetings to train our staff so that we have the best understanding of the equipment that we rent out. We pride ourselves in renting out top of the line equipment, and make sure our customer’s feel confident choosing us as their rental destination.
 Today I will be discussing tillers! The importance of tilling is vital for having a healthy garden or lawn. Rototilling your garden sets the surface at an even depth and loosens the soil for easy planting. Rototilling your lawn is also an efficient way of removing weeds or creating a new growing bed. The rotating tines can also break up existing sod and can mix amendments and additives such as fertilizer or compost.
               The tillers that we rent out are all Makissic Tillers. Makissic Tillers are best known for professional users and the number one choice for rental stores. The first tiller I will be discussing is our 4 HP Mini Tiller. This is our smallest tiller that we rent out. It’s great for small projects like gardens or little spots in your lawn. This tiller comes with a depth bar that you drop into the ground so that you can adjust the depth of how far down you want to go. As small as this tiller is it will still take you for a ride! This tillers’ max depth is 8” deep. You can adjust width of the tines as well.  The width can go from 12”-18”.
               The next tiller I will be talking about is the 6HP Suburban Mid-Tine Tiller. This is our most popular tiller because it handles larger size jobs. This tiller also has a depth bar to adjust the depth of how far down the user would like to go. This tiller, like the 4 HP, has a control throttle and finger tip clutch mounted on the handle for maximum comfort and convenience. This tiller has a 12” tilling depth and a width of 14”-26”.
               Our last and biggest tiller that we rent out is our 13 HP Rear-Tine Tiller. This is our biggest and heaviest tiller that we own.  This tiller is absolutely perfect for big areas to till such as your entire yard. This tiller is a rear tine, which means the tines are in the back of the machine than in the middle like other two models that we rent out, which means less strain on your back! It has a drive control as well, so there’s no pushing this tiller around, it pulls you! The tines and the wheel are driven by separate drives, which mean you can drive the machine with-out having the tines engaged.  The rear-tine tiller machine is counter balanced to focus the weight over the wheels, allowing for more control while tilling. This tiller has a 10” tiller depth and a 21” tilling width.    
               These machines are great in so many ways. Whether you’re re-doing your entire lawn or just doing a small garden, stop by Equipment & Event Rental today! We have the right size tiller for you and we’re always here to give you a helping hand in all your equipment rental needs!
