A glossary of terms for all MTD chore performers:

Front & Rear Tine Tillers

2" Edging Depth

Planting beds are protected from damage with the 2" edging depth with blade edge guard.

5-Position Handle Mounted Depth Adjustment

The angle of the blade can be adjusted for beveling and easy edging of flower beds.

Adjustable Depth Bar

The depth bar on the front tine tillers is adjustable allowing the operator to choose and maintain the preferred tilling depth.

Adjustable Plow-Type Handles

The handle design provides the operator with full control and more comfort. The handles are easily adjustable for operator convenience.

Adjustable Side Panels

Keeps tilled ground from spilling over onto the untilled path, protecting plants and shrubs while providing a professional appearance.

Adjustable Swing-Type Handles

The swing handle moves up and down as needed allowing the operator to till without walking of freshly tilled soil.

Adjustable tilling widths allow the operator to easily till between rows and other hard to reach areas.

Adjustable Wheel Base

The adjustable wheel base easily reverses the weight distribution for light cultivating or heavy ground breaking. This feature saves the operator time and energy.

Direct Chain Drive Transmission

A heavy-duty gear box drives direct to chain in the chipper/shredder/vac. The direct chain drive is permanently sealed and lubricated for less maintenance. Operator effort is reduced by the self-propelled drive.

Forward and Reverse Wheel Drive

Operator effort is minimized and maneuverability is increased with the forward/reverse wheel drive.

Handle-Mounted Tine Engagement

The operator can completely control the tiller from the operator zone, providing maximum convenience and safety.

Handle-Mounted Tine Engagement With Reverse

The operator can completely control the tiller from the operator zone, providing maximum convenience and safety. The reverse control gives the operator extra convenience and maneuverability.

Heavy Duty Cast Iron Frame

The cast iron frame absorbs vibration to reduce operator fatigue and provides excellent balance to make tilling and transport easy.

In-Line Shifting

Shifting is easy with the automotive-type gear transmission. Maintenance is low since no chains or sprockets are used.

Patented Dual Direction Tine System

The tines automatically adjust to the proper angle when changing tine rotation from forward to reverse. The patented system ensures maximum performance whether breaking ground, cultivating or deep tilling.

Permanently Sealed Chain Case

The enclosed design prevents dirt, sand and other debris from entering the chain case - eliminating costly maintenance. No lubrication is necessary.

Pneumatic Agricultural Tires

Designed for durability and to provide positive traction during operation and transport.

Power Wheel Reverse

Reduces effort to maneuvering around tight areas and eliminates need to man-handle the tiller.

Self Sharpening Heat Treated Tines

The tines are uniquely designed to sharpen while in use eliminating the need.

Yard-Vac

Anti-Clog Self Cleaning Screen

The Yard Vac discharges debris into the bag after a final state of reduction. Flails pass through the screen to ensure only the finest mulch passes through.

Triple Care System

The Yard Vac has the ability to chip, shred and vacuum resulting in quick work of the yard cleanup. Three quality functions at the value of one unit.

Chipper/Shredder/Vacs
