The robust clutch and strong gearbox ensure efficient power transfer during heavy workloads, allowing the machine to dig deeply and consistently. Its independent tine drive helps you maintain steady forward motion, giving excellent control during challenging soil conditions.

Effective Tilling with High Quality Digging Tines

The Honda FJ500 SER is supplied with six four-tooth digging tines, designed to create fine and well-prepared soil structure. These tines deliver consistent results across different ground types, allowing you to achieve an even finish throughout your working area. The included crop protection discs safeguard your plants during close soil preparation, helping you maintain tidy growing areas. Its low centre of gravity enhances stability and contributes to smooth and predictable handling across uneven surfaces.

Comfortable Handling with Adjustable Features

The tiller includes foldable handlebars, allowing easier storage when space is limited. Its height and angle adjustable handle supports comfortable working positions for different users. These adjustments help reduce strain during long operating periods and improve control around borders and planted areas. The machine is also compatible with a front transport wheel for easier movement, which is available as an optional UK-only attachment. The included rear drag bar further enhances stability and consistent depth during operation.

Simple Fuel Management for Long Term Reliability

To maintain best performance, Honda recommends using standard pump fuels such as SP95, SP98, or SP95-E10. A fuel stabiliser should be added when storing fuel for more than a few weeks, helping prevent engine issues and keeping the fuel fresh. Fuel should be stored in small sealed containers, away from heat and sunlight, and used within one month unless stabilised. When storing the machine for extended periods, the fuel tank should be drained following the user manual guidance.
