PRODUCT ROUNDUP EQUIPMENT FOCUS 28 SEPTEMBER 2015 OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT www.outdoorpowerequipment.com PRODUCT ROUNDUP PRODUCTS ATOM TILLER Thanks to its ergonomic design, the Atom tiller is easy to operate, transport, and clean. Shaft driven to utilize maximum power from its Honda GX25 engine, the Atom tiller is fast, efficient and quiet. Six blades on each side offer a 13-inch- wide work area, and the removable blade cover allows for easy cleaning and multiple operations. Atom/Seago International, Inc. BCS 2-WHEEL TRACTOR WITH REAR-TINE TILLER ATTACHMENT BCS offers a 2-wheel tractor with a rear-tine tiller attachment. With the BCS tiller attachment, all-gear drive power and performance mean that operators don't just dig dirt — they build soil. Operators can bust sod, prepare seed- beds, and precision cultivate. After gardening season, they can power compost plant material or between-season cover crops for organically richer soil. The tines rotate 50-percent faster than competitive brands at a rate of 20 rotations per wheel revolution. Tine speed can be adjusted to a 10-to-1 rotation ratio. The centrally located planar wedge leaves no untilled strip behind. BCS tiller attachments are available in inch widths of 18, 20, 26 (adjusts to 20), 30 (adjusts to 26), or 33 (adjusts to 27).

Other features include a water-resistant stop switch and convenient throttle location, along with a kickstand for easy storage. A worm gear-type transmission provides high rpm and high tine torque in tough soil conditions. Four, 10-tooth tines dig 9-inch-wide by 6-inch-deep furrows. Echo Inc.
