Background and Identification

The Honda Mid Tine Tiller model FC600 is a tilling machine that is intended for use on garden or planting areas. It breaks up the soil as it goes by. This can aerate the soil, making it less packed and hard and more useful for planting. Tillers can also be used for weed control, as the tiller uproots the weeds when it goes by.

This is a mid tine tiller, which means that the engine is directly over the tines. This allows for better maneuverability when compared to front- or rear-tine tillers.

This tiller has several features intended to make it easier to operate and more effective. The tines, which break up the soil, are staggered from back to front, which reduces vibration. The tines can also be adjusted up or down to control how deep the tilling goes into the soil. Reviews on this tiller are generally positive, although one user had issues with the depth control and another said that this machine was slow compared to other models.
