Honda F 220
Honda's F220 is a premium mid-tine mini-tiller, not a two-wheel tractor: the 57 cc GXV57 four-stroke (2.0 hp) driving mid-mounted tines for a 545 mm (54 cm) tilling width to ~28 cm depth, reducible by removing the outer tines, at about 30 kg. Ideal for established beds and raised plots. Engine, power, 54 cm width and ~30 kg weight verified via Honda.
Best for: Gardeners wanting a compact, reliable Honda mini-tiller for established beds.
Honda FG 110
Honda's benchmark mini-tiller: the 25 cc GX25 four-stroke OHC engine driving four front tines for a 23 cm (9 in) tilling width to ~20 cm depth, narrowable to 15 cm by removing the outer tines. At 13 kg dry it is light and foldable for established beds and small allotments. Engine, 23 cm width, 13 kg dry weight and UK price (RRP ~£650) verified via Honda.
Best for: Established beds and small allotment patches.
