power tiller
Engine-driven soil turner
A power tiller is a motorized agricultural machine for breaking up and aerating soil, smaller and more maneuverable than a tractor.
The operator walks behind it, guiding handlebars while rotating blades churn the earth.
Also called a rotary tiller or rototiller.
Common in small farms and gardens where tractors would be impractical.
