Microcultivator XT - new version

An improved version of Johnny's original.

The microcultivator is the reliable benchmark for professional-quality bed preparation. Not to be confused with a rotovator, it mixes the first two inches of soil to produce a finely tended, level surface ready for planting.

The new version of Johnny's Seeds' microtiller has been upgraded with a drive system that generates more torque and improved responsiveness. The powerful gear drive is easily controlled by a light pull on the trigger, which is shaped into a set of contoured handles.

The benefits of the XT microcultivator

• Improved soil health (leaves soil structure and beneficial microbes intact), leading to better crop production over time
• Better weed management (mixes only the top layer of soil to avoid bringing weed seeds to the surface to germinate)
• Ideal for minimum tillage operations
• Efficient way to mix compost and soil improvers
• Ideal for high tunnels as it's lightweight, portable and doesn't emit fumes

Features :

• High-quality materials (stainless steel, aluminum and wood) with lasting value
• Lightweight design
• Cast aluminum trigger controls drilling speed
• High-strength metal components
• Full-length oiled ash wood handles

Notes
