- As we move into autumn, our attention turns to rejuvenating the soil so that it’s in the best possible condition at the start of next year’s growing season. Soil tends to become compacted over time due to rain and foot traffic so tilling is an ideal way to prepare a new garden bed or to work large amounts of compost, mulch or manure into the soil.
Here at STIHL, we have three garden tillers available, which all have an optimised burrowing action allowing a smoother transition into the soil and central engine positioning for better balance. We also have a range of tiller accessories to help make your job a whole lot easier.
🔶 STIHL MH 445 Tiller 🔶
The MH 445 is a great tiller machine for getting essential soil prep done at the end of the season. Featuring a powerful 140cc petrol engine and four rows of tines with a working width of 45cm, the STIHL MH 445 is perfect for tilling open vegetable patches.
The handlebars have an anti-vibration system in the mount and a central height and swing adjustment, so the machine stays flat and level when the user is in a comfortable standing position. The swing function allows you to move the controls around to the left or right so that you don’t have to walk behind the machine on the freshly tilled soil. For precise control the throttle is within reach of the left handle, allowing you to keep two hands on the handlebars and adjust the speed with your thumb whilst steering.
Once the tiller is in place, the transport wheels simply lift up out of the way and you’re ready to go. The speed and depth is controlled by the brake spur which has three different height positions to set the blade entry depth. It also controls the propulsion speed preventing it from racing off along the surface of the soil. You can push down on the brake spur to slow the tiller and allow it to dig in more and it can swivel up by 180 degrees making it far easier to work in tight passages and bends.
The specifically designed tine blades turn the soil over extremely efficiently with an optimised burrowing action and plant protection discs on the outer tines protect adjacent plants and their roots being damaged. The two outermost tines can be removed to reduce the working width to 25cm allowing the MH 445 tiller to work between rows of vegetables, or you can add an additional tine set and impact protectors to increase the tilling width to 62cm so that larger areas can be tilled more quickly.
🔶 STIHL MH 445 R Tiller 🔶
The STIHL MH 455 R adds a reverse gear to the standard MH 445 tiller. This means the machine can be more easily manoeuvred when working in tighter areas, in tricky positions up against a fence or wall, or even just turning the machine 180 degrees to make another run over the soil. The reverse gear is much slower than the forward gear so is only used for manoeuvring, not tilling.
🔶 STIHL MH 585 Tiller 🔶
The MH 585 is our largest tiller which has the same handy features as the smaller MH 445, making light work of the job. But with a powerful 149cc engine, an 85cm working width and six rows of tines it’s built for heavier work than the STIHL MH 445 models and has a few more accessories.
The outer row of tines can be removed so the MH 585 tiller can work in tighter areas as well as being more effective in compacted soil with a reduced surface area. At its narrowest with four rows of tines, it has a 59cm working width.
When tilling, a higher weight is a benefit as the tines will dig into the soil more and make the work easier. The MH 585 is 44kg as standard but you can also add the AZG 030 weight kit, adding 18kg to the machine. The extra weight is particularly effective in tough, compacted soil as it helps prevent the machine from bouncing or skidding on the surface.
After tilling, the MH 585 can also be fitted with an optional ridger, which cuts a furrow for growing vegetables. There are two to choose from: the AHK 702 fixed ridger cuts a furrow and ridge at a fixed distance apart, whereas the AHK 701 adjustable ridger allows the blades of the ridger to be widened. For the best results with the ridgers, we also recommend using the AMR 031 iron wheelset to pull the ridger along more effectively.
All STIHL tillers come with a 5-year warranty.

Thanks for the video . They showed and explained everything well. I also ordered a Stihl.
My mind MH 710 💪
Hello, i have an MH 685 and i can't figure out if the machine is factory filled with transmission oil, or not.
I filled it with motor oil but i can't find any information in the manual about the transmission oil. Can you help me with this information?
Thanks a lot!
Hi, thanks for your comment. The MH 685 will come with gearbox oil so you shouldn't need to fill this yourself, it’s just the engine oil you need to keep an eye on. We do recommend that a STIHL Approved Dealer changes the gearbox oil if necessary when it’s being serviced. If you notices the gearbox getting noticeably louder, we also recommend taking it to a dealer and they can check if the oil level is too low. We don’t sell the MH 685 here in Great Britain so it's worth confirming this info with your local dealer or the STIHL subsidiary where you bought it from as they’ll have the specific expertise on this product. Thanks, STIHL GB
@@STIHLGB Thank you for your quick response, it is really helpful since I'm already using the tool.
Indeed, the machine was purchased from Netherlands. I will look for a local dealer to help me with the service and maintenance for my MH 685, BR 800C, RM 756 YS and the small MS 181 C.
Have a nice day ahead.
Victor.
@@rusuliviu7934 you're welcome. We hope you enjoy using the tool. Thanks, STIHL GB
Which one for rough garden with rocks the size of your fist?
Hi, thanks for your question. Tillers are designed for breaking up soil, not picking up rocks, so if the soil is particularly rocky, we would always recommend going over it first and removing any larger stones or rocks. Similarly, for rough, uncultivated ground, it's worth forking it over first to break it up a bit before using a tiller. For hard-baked ground, you can also use water to soften it up before using a tiller. If the tiller does turn over a large stone during use, we would suggest removing it at that stage so that it doesn't damage the tines. I hope that helps, thanks, STIHL GB
@@STIHLGB Thanks for that - sounds like I need a tractor and plough then - for a 5x5 metre garden. :(
@@Stephen_Strange or a garden fork and a lot of muscle unfortunately. Good luck with it, I hope you manage to get it cleared. Thanks, STIHL GB
Do you have that item at indonesia?
Hi, thanks for your comment. I'm afraid we don't know what products are stocked in Indonesia. But you can contact the STIHL importer for Indonesia and they should be able to tell you. You can find their details here: indokita.co.id/en/
Thanks, STIHL GB
Do you have tiller weeder to fix to fs250 brush cutter
Hi, thanks for your comment. I'm afraid we don't sell a tiller attachment that fits to any of our brushcutters. Thanks, STIHL GB
What is the price of mh445.
The tiller comes disassembled in a cardboard box. The assembly instructions are the worst I've ever seen. Moreover, there are nuts and bolts that have to be tightened which are in very awkward places where no socket/spanner I have can fit. I've spent two hours so far and am giving up until tomorrow. Beware.
Hi, thanks for your comment and I'm sorry to hear that the instructions aren't clear enough. I've passed your feedback on to our product team but in the meantime, we suggest speaking to the STIHL Approved Dealer that you bought it from as they should be experienced in assembling the products and they should be able to help. If you need any more assistance, you can also contact our Customer Services team on 01276 20200 or enquiries@stihl.co.uk. Thanks, STIHL GB
@@STIHLGB Thank you for your reply. Having now completed the installation, I'm being more specific, as it will be more helpful:
1. The instructions at the start are all pictorial... it was only after I had completed that I saw that there were some words to help later in the manual. However, the words aren't very comprehensive either and use some strange vocabulary - bad translation?
2. Several of the actions needed are difficult and fiddly. For example - tightening the nut and bolt on the top (the shape of the bar underneath makes it very difficult to get a spanner underneath and my socket set certainly wouldn't fit). There was one of the bolts on the "wheel" mudguards that was tricky too. Also, attaching the T-shaped throttle wire to the handles was difficult and took me about 30 minutes to complete.
3. Instructions are sparse or non-existent on some actions - one appears to need to make a mistake and figure it out for yourself. For example - tightening the bolt for the handlebar adjustment - one only realises later that it needs to be left loose so that the black handle can be used to tighten. Similarly, it's only with trial and error that one realises that the throttle wire needs to go into the last of the three sockets - if you use either of the first two it springs out again.
4. I cannot yet find any mention of what oil grade to use.
5. Several tools are needed but not supplied. IKEA for example, provides allen keys of the correct size in each pack - nothing here for something far more expensive. I had the tools, many may not.
6. All in all it has taken me about 5 hours to assemble - much longer than I would have hoped. Now googling for which oil to use.
@@mrtrench6784 thank you again for the really comprehensive feedback. I've passed all this info to our product team again and our technical team and they are going to look into it. In the meantime, this is the oil you need for the product: www.stihl.co.uk/STIHL-Products/Fuel-oils-and-canisters/4-stroke-engine-oil/294090-122376/SAE-30-engine-oil.aspx
Thanks, STIHL GB
@@STIHLGBI can only echo the comment above - the instructions are the worst for something that is that expensive.
@@yurikozhokin8348 Hi there, thank you for your comment. We really appreciate your feedback and have passed it onto our technical team. Many thanks, STIHL GB
