STIHL MH 445 compact petrol tiller (45 cm)

If you need to loosen soil and mix in compost in narrow beds or small plots, the STIHL MH 445 keeps the job light and tidy. Its compact 45 cm working width, adjustable down to 25 cm for tight rows, lets you till exactly where you want without trampling your plants.

A strong OHV petrol engine powers specially shaped tines that bite in sequence for efficient soil breakup. With low vibration, an adjustable handlebar and transport wheels, you stay comfortable while moving from bed to bed.

Advice from gardenmachineshop.com

For narrow row work, remove the outer tine set to reduce width and use the drag stake one notch deeper to keep a straight, steady line.
