DRT70 specifications

The Husqvarna DRT70 is a standout addition to Husqvarna's line of high-performance garden equipment, specifically designed for cultivating soil and preparing garden beds. This robust tiller is tailored for both professional landscapers and avid gardeners who seek efficiency and reliability in their gardening tools.

One of the main features of the Husqvarna DRT70 is its powerful 4-cycle engine, delivering ample torque and consistent performance, even in challenging soil conditions. This engine is designed for easy starting and requires less maintenance than its 2-cycle counterparts, making it an excellent choice for users looking for convenience alongside power.

The DRT70 boasts an impressive tilling width of 17 inches and a tilling depth of up to 8 inches. Such capabilities allow gardeners to efficiently break through tough soil layers, mixing in organic materials like compost or fertilizers with ease. This versatility makes the DRT70 suitable for a range of gardening tasks, from creating new garden beds to rejuvenating existing soil.

Equipped with a durable and adjustable handle, the Husqvarna DRT70 offers exceptional comfort and control during operation. The handle can be configured to suit individual user preferences, allowing for better posture and minimizing fatigue over extended use. This is particularly advantageous for professionals who may spend long hours tilling large plots.

One of the notable technologies integrated into the DRT70 is its counter-rotating tines. This feature enhances the tiller's soil cultivation capability, breaking up compacted soil more effectively while also reducing weed growth. The counter-rotation not only improves efficiency but also results in a more consistent tilling depth and texture.

Safety is paramount with the Husqvarna DRT70, which is equipped with a system that allows for easy operator control. The tiller features a safety guard and an easy-to-reach throttle, enabling users to maintain a safe distance from the tines while still having quick access to power settings.

In summary, the Husqvarna DRT70 is a powerful, user-friendly tiller that excels in soil cultivation. Its advanced features, including a robust engine, adjustable handle, and counter-rotating tines, make it an exceptional tool for anyone committed to gardening success. Whether tackling small home projects or larger landscaping endeavors, the DRT70 stands out as a reliable partner in achieving superior soil preparation.
