Best Tillers Under $300

A low cost corded tiller with a full 16 in path for budget buyers with an outlet near the garden.

A cheap, light corded tiller for loosening existing beds near an outlet. Buyers with heavy clay should step up to the 13.5 A TJ604E for $10 more.

The pick of Sun Joe’s corded tillers for most small gardens: a wide path and a stronger motor for little more than the 12 A model.

For corded tiller buyers who want the most motor Sun Joe makes in a light package. If the soil is already loose, the cheaper TJ604E tills just as wide.

A corded 16 in tiller that matches the Sun Joe TJ604E on width, depth and motor, for buyers who find it cheaper.

A strong value gas cultivator with an unusually long warranty, for gardeners who want gas power without paying Mantis prices.

A battery cultivator with more claimed depth than its rivals, best bought at the Amazon price.

A wide, cordless Sun Joe for gardens out of reach of an outlet. Owners of other Sun Joe 24 V tools get the most from it, since spare batteries stretch the short runtime.

A good cordless choice for weeding and loosening established beds, especially for anyone already on Greenworks 40 V batteries.

For owners of Greenworks Pro 80 V tools who want a cultivator on the same battery, with a long warranty.
