Q:I see there is a variable speed for this product. What are the range of the speed? Is it low, medium, high? I ask because other tillers have one speed and they are usually too fast. I need something slow.

Answer This Question

A:  Hello, Kevin - Thank you for your question. Use these guidelines to determine correct speed for various applications: LOW speeds are best for deep tilling of soft soil. MEDIUM speeds are suitable for general cultivation and aeration. HIGH speeds are best for shallow cultivation and hard soil. I hope this helps!

    by|Aug 1, 2023

    A:  Hello, Jeffp - Thank you for your question. For best results, your battery tool should be in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or in vehicles. I hope this helps!

            Impressive power
            When I was younger, I was never very impressed with battery powered tools but they seem to have come a long way in recent years. I have a fairly large area of my property that I wanted to try to till which is difficult with my rocky, hard soil. I decided to give this RYOBI 40-Volt Front Tine Tiller a try since it seems like battery tools are the future. This tiller requires some assembly but it was easy and I completed it in about 20 minutes. It comes with a 40 volt battery and a quick charger. The width of the tines is 16 inches but can be reduced to 11 inches by removing the outer tines. The tines can till down to a depth of eight inches. The tiller has a variable speed motor that is controlled by an adjustment on the handle. When I first started using the tiller, I was very impressed with the amount of power the motor provided. Although my soil is hard and rocky, this tiller was able to dig up my soil although it did bounce quite a bit when hitting rocks. I was also impressed with how quiet the tiller is and it was nice to not have to listen to a loud gas motor. As with all battery powered tools, the length of time you can use them can be an issue so it might be a good idea to get a second battery so you can continue to work while the other battery charges. I am impressed with the power and performance of this tiller.

            Making tilling easy
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ryobi's new 40V tiller is incredibly easy to use. No more extension cords or gasoline just a simple battery. Has 3 different adjustable depth setting and speed settings depending on what you are tilling. This is the smoothest tiller I have ever used and extremely effective.

              Battery operated
              Ryobi's new front time tiller kit saves a lot of time not having to deal with extension cords or gasoline, it runs on a 40V Lithium-Ion 6Ah battery (Charger included). Assembly is easy with instructions. Has 3 adjustable wheel heights up to eight inches deep. Tines are adjustable from 11" to 16". Has on-board storage for battery and charger It is "whisper" quiet and the easiest tiller I have ever used.

              Works well, but OH! the assembly!
              I have been a fan of Ryobi tools since we bought our first "fixer" in 2004. This was all set to be a 1 hour assembly project. The first thing I noticed was that you need a deep 14mm socket to assemble it, as the bolts are quite long. No problem, I have that. The fun began when it came time to assemble the tines. The instructions said to assemble according to A,B,C,D but the tines were NOT marked, which sent me calling for assistance. They were unable to tell me which was which, but sent a diagram that I could use to figure it out myself. Nowhere was it mentioned that the notched end was for the first shear pin to drop into. Once figured out, my assembly was again delayed when I couldn't get the cotter pin to fit into a shear pin. It turned out that the hole for the cotter pin wasn't drilled all the way through, so I had to drill it out myself. Now with about 6 hours into it, it does a pretty good job of tilling soil, making a bed for my wife's flowers in just a few minutes. Still, for a friend to assemble, I just can't recommend it.

              Powerful battery operated tiller
              This tiller uses Ryobi's 40 volt battery system so you can use any other 40 volt batteries you may have. This tiller was easy to put together with just a crescent wrench. The tiller seems well built and strong. It has good tine speed control and half the tines can be removed if you want a narrower till path such as for weeding between rows. There is a depth adjustment which is easy to work. I have only used the tiller once but it worked as good or better than previous gas tillers I have owned. The tiller speed can be adjusted between very slow to as fast as you would ever want to till. I would recommend this tiller and it might be a good place to start getting into the 40 volt battery system.

              Great Little Tiller
              Perfect size for my raised beds and plant and flower areas around the house. The tiller was easy to assemble and the instructions were very clear. I appreciate the fact that the unit came with a battery and charger and the battery was already partially charged so that we could run the unit to make sure it was in working order. It has a nice thick padded handle grip, there is an adjusting speed control for the tines depending on the type of tilling you are doing - soft soil or hard compacted soil, big wheels and it has a battery storage section right in the unit.

              Very Efficient Machine
              This is a great machine. It does take some time to put it together, but the instructions are good and pretty thorough. I have a large landscaped yard partially covered in fine landscape bark and topsoil which gets hardened over time and then grows moss, leaving no absorption for water. So, my yard sometimes has standing water in areas that can’t handle the water. I wanted this tiller so I could break up the top layer, soften the soil to make it more absorbent, and till in some lime. I did add some lime over the top before I tilled my sample area in the photos. This tiller worked like a champ and I will continue with it over all the hardened mossy areas that no longer drain well. I have all raised beds for vegetables, but tiller can be used for breaking up any kind of soil for whatever reason. I’m extremely pleased with this tiller. It’s sturdy, adjustable and the battery last a good long time. I have two batteries of this size and they meet my needs and then some. I highly recommend this tiller.

              Tiller is a Great Addition to the 40Volt Line
              This is my third Ryobi 40-volt tool. The Ryobi Front Tine Tiller is a great tool to have around the house. Assembly was easy to do and I put it into action as soon as it was completed. I have a lot of rock in my area, so I was able to give it a workout putting in a small strip for flowers and shrubs. The 6.0amp battery gives this tool the power to power through the tough stuff. I liked that they included a space for a spare battery to be kept, so you don't have to go back to the charging station. The tines are heavy duty and the deck keeps the dirt from flying into your face. I'm used to the gas tillers, so it was deceiving when you use this tiller. You think it's not working well, until you pull it back and see how well it has chewed up the ground. Simple to operate and will be a valuable part of my gardening for years to come.

              Excellent household cultivator
              Order the tiller for landscaping and cultivating flower beds and vegetable gardens. The unit comes disassembled with a battery, fast charger, fasteners, and excellent assembly and operating instructions. Assembly was easy taking about 40 minutes and requiring only a half inch box wrench. Assembly entailed mounting the handle with 4 bolts and self-locking nuts, fastening the wheels with 2 self-locking nuts, installing the 2 inner and 2 outer tines with 6 sheer pins and keepers, installing the drag bar with 1 sheer pin and keeper, and installing the battery. Note the left and right inner and outer tines must be placed on specified sides of the unit. It took about an hour to fully charge the 6 AMP hour battery the first time. The unit is easy to control while the steel tines propel the unit forward. Tilling speed is fully variable, and 2 tilling depths can be selected easily by moving the wheels. The outer tines can be removed for a narrower tilling path if desired. The unit is fairly heavy (72 lbs.) which helps the tines penetrate the soil. The 40 Volt drive is powerful and quiet. The fender prevents debris from flying up on the operator. I initially tilled a fairly compacted surface for about 30 minutes which consumed about half the initial charge as shown on the battery charge indicator. The battery and charger can both be stored on board in the battery compartment. The unit can be stored upright against a wall on its bull bar to minimize required storage space. The bull bar also makes it easy to pick up and load the unit for transport. The manufacturer states the unit is sufficiently lubricated for the life of the machine under normal conditions so there is no required maintenance beyond keeping it clean. I like everything about this unit regarding it performance, cordless electric convenience, and environmental friendliness for occasional household use.
