Another consideration is the way a tiller is powered. For many people, the convenience of an electric-powered tiller is obvious. They are simple to start - they will run indefinitely since your electricity is always available, and they are handy for smaller-sized gardens. However, the drawback is that you will need an extension cord if your garden is farther away from the house, and you’ll be out of luck without a power source.
Gas-powered tillers are potent machines that can muscle through tough soil. However, with many of these models, you must mix oil and gas to fuel the machine and occasionally stop to refuel, which is a chore not everyone likes. Gas-powered machines tend to be heavier and harder to push, which could be a problem for some consumers.
As with all tools, electric tillers are generally less expensive than gas-powered ones. If you prefer electric to gas, you will find good, affordable models but won’t get the same power gas tillers provide.
