With a robust 4-stroke engine and a working width of either 330 mm, 620 mm or even 850 mm, it offers a versatile solution for different soil types and requirements. Thanks to its pulling power, the garden tiller is also suitable for working on stony or hard ground, where smaller motor hoes often reach their limits.
Another highlight is the selectable chipper blade drive with forward and reverse gear, which makes the tiller very maneuverable and easy to operate. The ability to individually adjust the working width and depth increases flexibility and efficiency during use.

The product is rated with an average of 4.2 stars on the Amazon platform. Customers particularly praise the lawn mower’s performance, which is impressive even on challenging terrain. The easy assembly and powerful engine performance are also positively highlighted. However, some users report problems with the packaging and the condition of the product on delivery. In particular, the sensitive parts such as the air filter were delivered damaged, which led to inconvenience. The operating instructions and the quality of individual components were also criticized. Despite these negative points, most customers are satisfied overall with the performance and value for money of the product.
Prices of up to €900 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as € 300 . The garden tiller from BRAST® is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of € 499. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
