Forestwest 18-Inch Dual-Rotating Rear-Tine Tiller – 6.5 HP Self-Propelled – BM11123

The Forestwest BM11123 6.5 HP Dual-Rotating Rear-Tine Tiller is a gasoline-powered rotary tiller designed for preparing garden beds, cultivating soil, and breaking up compacted ground. Its rear-tine layout combines powered travel with an 18 in (450 mm) tilling width, making it suitable for gardens, landscaping projects, acreage, and property maintenance.

The BM11123 features a dual-rotating tine system that allows both forward and counter-rotation. Forward rotation is suited to lighter cultivation and previously worked soil, while counter-rotation provides a more aggressive digging action for compacted soil and new ground preparation.

Powered by a 6.5 HP gasoline engine, the BM11123 also features self-propelled wheels to reduce the effort required to move the machine through the working area. With a specified 12 in (300 mm) tilling depth and 18 in (450 mm) working width, it provides a practical option for users who need more capability than a lightweight front-tine cultivator.
