Tilling Technique:

• For best results, pull the tiller towards you rather than pushing it, especially in hard soil. This allows the blades to dig more effectively.
• For very hard or unbroken ground, it may be necessary to go over the area multiple times to achieve fine soil.
• The tiller is ideal for preparing seedbeds, mixing fertilizers evenly into the soil, and removing stubborn weed roots.

Battery Runtime:

With two 4000mAh batteries, the tiller can cultivate an area of approximately 280 square meters. Each battery provides a significant runtime, but continuous operation should not exceed 30 minutes to prevent overheating.
