Hello, I have a front tine rototiller with a reverse function, and I am
wondering when the reverse would be useful.

I don't have this feature on my Honda 110 mini-tiller. Reverse is
useful to get out of a corner, especially for the larger tillers.


My guess would be if the tines got caught up in roots or whatnot.


Well, if the tines get caught, I suggest you stop the tiller
immediately and remove the entanglement--reverse function or not, to
prevent breaking a pin.

Also, would you consider a reverse function to be an essential feature of a
rototiller?

Not at all.


Thanks for any insight into this,

Jon
