Our patented serpentine (curved) tines dig into even the hardest soil, instead of bouncing like most bolo-tine mini-tillers. Virtually all other mini-tillers have digging tines, which are a $50 option! And our tines are reversible! They easily switch from tilling to cultivating. Our tines are guaranteed against breakage for life! The ability of our tines to dig through tough soil is in the patented tine design. Digging really doesn't depend on weight, as some people might think.
