Drill-Powered Garden Tiller

Drill-Powered Garden Tiller FARM HOME Miscellaneous If you have a drill you can till thanks to Fusion’s drill-powered cultivator As part of the Wisconsin company Ardisam Inc which manufactures Earthquake tilling equipment Fusion was given the challenge of improving a tiller designed for cordless drills “One of the major design improvements was the addition of torque-reducing arms that hug the drill so that the user doesn’t experience strain on their arms or wrists during operation even allowing the user to operate the cultivator with just one hand kind of like operating a vacuum cleaner We also added a form-fitting tine shield to help properly direct the dirt ” says Andy Burish brand manager for Fusion Drill Powered Tools The resulting 7-lb cultivator tills up to 8-in wide and 5 1/2-in deep with an adjustable handle to use in the garden or raised beds The steel tines don’t need to be sharpened and the shaft and torque arms are made of lightweight aluminum Burish says The cordless drill attaches easily and the user controls the speed by setting the drill speed and by the amount of pressure on the trigger The Fusion cultivator can be moved forward and back or side to side to till weed mix fertilizer in the soil or stir compost “A user can control the depth up to 5 1/2 in by just applying the appropriate amount of pressure during use ” Burish says “This flexibility is helpful when working close to plants or in raised beds ” Run times vary depending on the voltage and amp hour rating of the drill as well as soil conditions The Fusion is available on Amazon through many retailers and the company’s website Currently it’s on sale for $100 and comes with a 1-year limited warranty Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Ardisam Inc 1160 8th Ave Cumberland Wis 54829 ph 800-345-6007; www fusiondrillpowered com
