Product Info
Professional Rear Tine Hydraulic Tiller | Maxim Rear Tine Tiller RT190H
Industrial Soil Penetration with Commercial Honda GX270 Power
Breaking through heavy clay or established sod requires more than just raw horsepower; it requires an advanced drive system that handles the resistance for you. The Maxim Rear Tine Tiller is an industrial beast engineered to take the physical struggle out of ground preparation by utilizing a full hydraulic drive.
Driven by a commercial Honda GX270 engine, this machine delivers the 270cc displacement needed to maintain peak torque in the most punishing environments. The Maxim Rear Tine Tiller uses tandem variable displacement pumps to power both the wheels and the tines, ensuring smooth operation without the jerking common in belt-driven units.
The tillage system features 12 heavy-duty, bolt-on tines that provide dual rotation in both forward and reverse directions. This flexibility allow the operator to customize the tilling action to the soil type, reaching depths of up to 8 inches to ensure a nutrient-rich and aerated seedbed.
Maneuverability is handled through a unique rolling handlebar control system that manages directional movement with a simple twist. Large chevron drive wheels provide the positive traction necessary to pull through soft or tilled earth, while the solid linkage design eliminates the maintenance issues associated with standard control cables.
Durability is built into the all-steel frame and reinforced by a heavy-duty engine guard that protects the Honda powerplant from job site impacts. The unit is designed for daily professional use, featuring easy access to the hydraulic filter to keep the system running at maximum efficiency with minimal downtime.
Whether you are a professional landscaper prepping a new estate or a rental yard owner needing a machine that can handle any operator, this tiller is the ultimate solution. Experience the ease of hydraulic power and American-made quality to achieve superior field performance and higher crop yields on every property you manage.
Why Choose The Maxim RT190H?
Full Hydraulic Drive System
This tiller utilizes a unique hydraulic setup with tandem pumps that allows the machine to do the heavy digging for you. This removes the physical strain of wrestling with a tiller in difficult soil, making all-day tilling tasks much more manageable for the operator.
Commercial Honda GX270 Reliability
The GX270 is a legendary industrial engine known for its easy-start recoil and relentless power delivery under high load. This ensures your equipment remains productive season after season with the torque required to pulverize the toughest sod.
Dual-Rotating Slasher Tines
With 12 bolt-on steel tines that rotate in both forward and reverse, you get the most versatile tillage quality available. This allows you to aggressively break ground in reverse or provide a fine finish in forward mode for a perfect seedbed.
User-Friendly Twist Controls
The rolling handlebar features intuitive twist controls for forward and reverse operation, providing enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces. You can change directions instantly without fighting gears or complex shifting mechanisms.
High-Traction Chevron Tires
The large chevron-tread wheels are engineered to dig in and pull the machine through soft, freshly tilled earth or slick clay. This positive traction is critical for maintaining a consistent tilling depth and forward speed on uneven terrain.
Rugged All-Steel Construction
