Patent ID: 7878260

Claim:
A garden tiller comprising an elongate chassis steerable by a pair of spaced apart handles connected to said chassis and said chassis supporting a power unit, a single ground engaging wheel means which is rotatable about a horizontal wheel axis and which supports said chassis in the manner of a wheel barrow with said power unit being sufficiently close to a location of attachment of said handles to said chassis such that, in operation, the center of gravity of the tiller is substantially balanced about said horizontal wheel axis, at least two horizontally spaced apart tines rotatable about a tine axis substantially parallel to, and in front of, said wheel axis with said tines being spaced apart on said tine axis, said chassis defining a central longitudinal axis of said tiller, said power unit and wheel lying substantially in a substantially vertical plane containing said longitudinal axis, and said handles each being positioned with substantially equal corresponding spacing one to either side of said longitudinal axis and said tines being substantially evenly spaced one to either side of said longitudinal axis, wherein simultaneously raising one of the said handles and lowering the other of said handles twists said chassis about said longitudinal axis to tilt said tine axis and thereby raise one of said tines and lower the other of said tines.
