LawnMaster TE1318M 18 in Tiller review

The widest tiller here at 18 inches, with removable tines that narrow it to 12.6 inches, and mechanical overload protection.

Two widths

Detachable tines give 18 inches for open ground and 12.6 inches between rows. No other tiller here offers that.

Good details

The 13.5-amp motor runs at a stated 380 RPM, and overload protection stops it if a stone jams it. At 24.4 pounds it is also light.

Soil safety

Call 811 before you dig, stay clear of the tines and unplug or shut down the machine before you clear roots or stones.

The way we judge this lawn equipment

The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
