Honda FJ500 SER Petrol Compact Tiller: Serious Capability for Medium – Large Gardens

Combining powerful performance with refined control, the Honda FJ500 SER Petrol Compact Tiller is designed for gardeners who expect more from their machinery. Built for medium to large gardens, this Honda tiller feels purposeful without being unwieldy. From preparing new ground to maintaining established beds, it delivers consistent results with minimal effort required. If you want a Honda tiller that offers both impressive levels of power and excellent ergonomics, the FJ500 SER fits the bill perfectly.

Proven Honda Engine Power

At the core of the machine sits a Honda GX160 4-stroke OHC engine. With a displacement of 163 cm³, it produces 3.4 kW of net power at 3,600 rpm (4.6 horsepower). This level of output provides confident digging strength across a wide range of soil types. Power delivery feels smooth rather than aggressive, helping the tiller work steadily without snatching. A recoil system ensures reliable starts, and the generous 2.4-litre fuel tank supports longer working sessions. Operating noise is well controlled, with a sound pressure level of 81 dB(A) at the user’s ear.

Strong Transmission and Controlled Drive

The constant mesh transmission is designed to reduce wear while delivering smooth gear engagement. With one forward gear and one reverse, operation remains simple and intuitive. A robust clutch and strong gearbox ensure power is channelled directly into the ground where it is needed most. The drive system works independently of tine speed, allowing you to regulate forward motion with confidence. Forward tool rotation runs at 113 rpm, while reverse rotation operates at 28 rpm. This balance supports both effective cultivation and safe manoeuvring.

High-Capacity Tilling Performance

This Honda tiller is supplied with six four-tooth digging tines. These are designed to produce finely worked, evenly structured soil. Performance remains consistent across lighter soils and heavier ground. With a maximum tilling width of 900 mm and a depth of up to 300 mm, larger areas can be covered efficiently. Fewer passes are required, saving time while achieving a high-quality finish suitable for planting.

Stability and Crop Protection

A low centre of gravity plays an important role in how stable the FJ500 SER Honda tiller feels in use. This helps maintain predictable handling, even when working on uneven terrain. Side discs are fitted as standard to protect crops and borders while tilling close to planted areas. Together, these features give the machine a composed and balanced feel, reducing operator fatigue during longer jobs.

Comfortable Handling and Practical Design

Ease of use is further enhanced by a height adjustable handlebar, allowing operators to set a comfortable working position and reducing strain on the body. The handle can also be folded, which makes transport and storage far more convenient. Overall dimensions of 1,395 mm (L) x 925 mm (W) x 990 mm (H) give this Honda tiller a substantial feel without being cumbersome. A dry weight of 57 kg adds stability while remaining manageable for most users.

Optional Transport Wheel Available

A front transport wheel is available to buy as an optional attachment, making movement between working areas easier. Why not add it to your basket now?

Unmatched Honda Warranty Support

Both parts and labour are included, and the warranty retains its full value throughout the term. When serviced according to the schedule, this provides long-lasting reassurance and outstanding value.
