Maxim MT Home Series Tiller Honda - MS50H
Equipped with Maxim’s medium-sized transmission, the MS50H provides great balance between power from the Honda GC160 engine and the tine speed (approx. 78 RPM Max).
Tillers using the medium transmission have less bulk making them easier to use in smaller places, while retaining the power to work heavy soils and pull attachments, thereby making them our most popular home owner tillers.

Maintenance Tips
-
Engine Care:
-
Oil: Regularly check the oil level and change it according to the manual. Typically, the first oil change is after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 50-100 hours.
-
Air Filter: Clean or replace the air filter regularly, especially if used in dusty conditions, to maintain engine efficiency.
-
Fuel: Always use fresh, clean unleaded gasoline. If storing the tiller for an extended period, drain the fuel tank to avoid clogging.
-
Tines and Transmission:
-
Tine Check: Inspect the tines frequently for wear or damage, and replace them if necessary to ensure efficient tilling.
-
Transmission: Keep the transmission lubricated and free from dirt or debris. Regularly check for smooth operation.
-
Cleaning:
-
After each use, clean the tiller thoroughly, especially the tines and underneath the chassis, to remove soil and plant matter. This helps to prevent buildup and corrosion.
-
Storage:
-
Store the tiller in a dry, sheltered place to protect it from the elements. If storing long-term, disconnect the spark plug wire for safety.
