Husqvarna Tiller Parts — Browse All Models

Understanding the differences between front-tine and rear-tine tillers helps you choose the right parts and maintain the machine properly. Design, handling, and performance vary significantly depending on the type of tiller you’re using. For more info, check out A guide to garden tillers.

Front-tine models have the tines positioned in front of the wheels. These tillers are best for breaking new ground or working in smaller, less compacted spaces.

• Tines pull the tiller forward, requiring more physical control
• Lightweight and easier to maneuver in tight areas
• Ideal for weeding and mixing soil in smaller gardens

Rear-tine tillers have their tines located behind the wheels. These are more powerful and better for larger plots or tougher soil.

• Wheels move the tiller forward independently of the tines
• More stable and easier to control in hard or rocky soil
• Useful for deep tilling and consistent soil turning

Tiller performance depends on the condition of key components. Knowing which parts wear out or fail most often can help keep your machine running reliably.

Tines do the heavy lifting in soil cultivation. When they dull, bend, or break, tilling becomes ineffective.
