Creating perfect conditions for your garden with the minimum of effort is often a matter of finding the right kit for the task. In this respect the Honda Lawn & Garden division’s wide product range should be able to fulfil most of your needs. Soil preparation is a key element of garden care and Honda’s family of petrol mini-tillers are ideal for this task. The F220, as the most powerful mini-tiller in the range, is perfect for larger kitchen gardens, and allotments

The secret to the F220’s efficiency is its increased operating depth and width. A set of four robust tines deliver a tilling width and depth of 54cm and 28cm respectively, while the adjustable drag bar allows you quickly to alter the working depth to the task at hand. The tilling blades are fitted with side discs to avoid any collateral damage to plants or garden structures if tilling in tight situations. The F220’s handlebars can be offset to avoid you treading on the soil you have just tilled, and fold away to facilitate storage, while a retractable transport wheel helps move the machine between jobs.

The F220’s motor unit is Honda’s proven 57cc GX four-stroke OHV petrol engine, This engines excellent fuel economy combined with the F220’s high capacity 0.67 litre fuel tank maximises run time. Honda’s decompression recoil mechanism ensures easy starting and restarting.

It is also worth noting that the F220 can be used with a range of optional accessories including de-thatcher and scarifier attachments. These convert the F220 into a handy lawn care tool as well as a cultivator, while the ridger accessory saves a considerable amount time and effort when planting or earthing-up potatoes, tubers and other crops.
