Honda FG315

If you are a keen vegetable grower, the Honda FG315 cultivator could be just the machine to choose. Whether your plot is in your garden at home or on an allotment, you will appreciate the extra capacity for work that the FG315 has over a mini tiller. If  purely for garden work, say for a small veg plot and flowerbeds then you might like to take a look at the Honda FG 201 that we review elsewhere.

However, with a working width of 800 mm and a 160 cc 4∙5 hp OHC motor, the FG315 is more than capable of handling all that a medium–sized garden or allotment can demand. The prospect of preparing fresh ground, pre-winter digging or turning over green manure can be daunting. It’s a shame if they become so difficult that the pleasures of home-grown produce have to be given up altogether.

With the Honda FG 315 to help, that no longer has to be the case.

The adjustable Y-shaped handle can be set at a height to suit you, and it folds up for storage. And because it will also swing to the side, you don’t have to walk over the ground you have just turned over. Forward and reverse gears give you extra flexibility.

You will see from the picture that the FG 315 has a front wheel which makes handling the weight (46 kg ) of this mid-size tiller much easier. Also standard are the crop-protection discs on the ends of the shaft, so that you can work alongside crops or paths without risk. Safety is looked after by the deadmans handle which cuts drive to the blades if you lose grip on the controls.

Honda’s standard 5 year warranty will give you great peace of mind.

The Honda FG315 has all the appearance of an ideal mid-size cultivator. It will take much of the hard graft out of looking after a vegetable garden or allotment, leaving you to do the fun stuff! On offer at around £670 we think it would prove a worthwhile investment.
