Forestwest 450mm Dual Rotating Rear Tine Tiller – 6.5HP Self-Propelled BM11123

The Forestwest BM11123 6.5HP Dual Rotating Rear Tine Tiller is a petrol-powered rotary hoe designed for preparing garden beds, cultivating soil and breaking up compacted ground. Its rear-tine layout combines powered travel with a 450mm 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 6.5HP petrol engine, the BM11123 also features self-propelled wheels to reduce the effort required to move the machine through the working area. With a specified 300mm tilling depth and 450mm working width, it provides a practical option for users who need more capability than a lightweight front-tine cultivator.
