Tillie Battery-Powered Tiller

The Tillie Battery-Powered Tiller is available in 2 models: Tillie A has a fixed head and Tillie V2 a three-position locking head (30 degrees left, straight, 30 degrees right) with accessories. The 20 hardened-steel tines are designed to act like collinear hoes and work differently than traditional tillers. It can be used for weeding, cultivating, bed forming/shaping, furrowing, and hilling, as well as for tilling. It’s powered by a variable-speed electric hub motor that runs off either a 24-volt or a 36-volt lithium-ion battery (depending on model). Battery life depends on use and can range from 45 minutes at full throttle to several hours of precision cultivation. Comes with battery and 120-volt AC charger. Options include tool bar, gauge wheels, and solar charger.

Cost: $800 or $1,000, depending on model
