First-Of-Its-Kind Rototiller

First-Of-Its-Kind Rototiller FARM HOME Miscellaneous The front tines rotate forward and the rear tines rotate backward on Roy Huber s rototiller
     It runs like a floor polisher or a concrete troweling machine Huber explains You control it simply by balance
    He demonstrates by raising the handles up and the front tines pull forward and dig He levels the handles and the tines dig deeper Pulling the handle down makes the self-propelled machine move backward
The TILIT Tiller works an 18-in strip but has extensions that can be added to work 28 in in sandy loam soil
    The tiller has a 7 hp gas engine and is mid-size between a front tine and a rear tine tiller The 160-lb machine is so well balanced that a 12-year-old can operate it Huber says
     It was hard to get everything working together he says When it did he discovered an added benefit Weeds and debris don t ball up as much in the intermeshing tines The tines tear up vegetation and mix it into the soil
    The TILIT Tiller is in the patent process and Huber hopes to interest a company in manufacturing it For now he s building and selling the tillers from his Texas business
    Cost is $1 195 It s not the cheapest Huber says but it makes other tillers obsolete
