MH 685 power tiller: a powerful tool for heavy soils

General

MH 685

The STIHL tiller MH 685 is fast, durable, effective and suitable for a wide range of soil and ground types. Even though the petrol engine ploughs new furrows powerfully, machine handling is still comfortable. This is made possible by the anti-vibration elements between the gearbox housing and handlebar as well as the intelligent weight distribution of the tiller. The height and width of the handlebar can be adjusted as required to guarantee maximum operating comfort. It can be folded up for storage purposes. The machine runs both forwards and backwards while the brake spur ensures precision control. If required, the working width can also be reduced from 85 cm to 60 cm to plant crops close to one another. A robust gearbox housing made from aluminium, worm shaft in hardened steel and worm gear made from bronze alloy also ensure a long service life. The pair of wheels at the rear are folded up during operation but can be used to transport or store the MH 685.

Anti-vibration system


    The anti-vibration system is integrated in the handlebar mount on the STIHL tiller. It reduces the vibrations at the handlebar, which also reduces the effort required to operate the machine for extended periods.

  • SHREDDER BLADES Zoom
    SHREDDER BLADES

    FOR VERY EFFICIENT DIGGING OVER. The shredder blades of the STIHL power tiller have a specially developed shape. This allows them to dig soil over very efficiently in an optimised process sequence.

  • DETACHABLE HOE SET Zoom
    DETACHABLE HOE SET

    EXTEND THE WORKING WIDTH. The detachable hoe set allows you to extend the working width of your power tiller with additional hoeing tools. The distance between the hoe blades is fixed. Discs at the side also protect your cultivated plants and objects from damage while ploughing.

  • Swivelling brake spur Zoom
    Swivelling brake spur

    FACILITATES DIGGING OVER IN NARROW SPACES. The pivoting braking spur slows down the propulsion speed and increases the manoeuvrability of your power tiller. This makes it easier to dig ground over in tight spaces and curves. In addition, this slowing enables you to work more intensively with the hoe set. The captive brake spur is also easy to access and conveniently height-adjustable.

  • TRANSPORT WHEELS Zoom
    TRANSPORT WHEELS

    FACILITATE TRANSPORT AND MORE. If you want to easily move your power tiller to the place of work or storage location, you can simply fold down the transport wheels. You can also tilt the power tool onto its wheels for mounting and cleaning the hoe blades. The pair of wheels can be folded up for convenience when you are digging the ground over.

  • Kohler OHV engine with SmartChoke Zoom
    Kohler OHV engine with SmartChoke

    This STIHL tiller is powered by a Kohler four-stroke engine that incorporates OHV technology. Overhead valves ensure that the petrol/air mixture burns especially cleanly and efficiently. The SmartChoke system makes sure that the tiller starts up easily and reliably. The forged crankshaft and cast iron cylinder liner were developed to guarantee a long service life.

  • ADJUSTABLE BAR Zoom
    ADJUSTABLE BAR

    FOR HIGH WORKING COMFORT. The ergonomically shaped bar of your power tiller can be adjusted both vertically and laterally, without tools. This means that you can dig over soils with an ergonomic posture even on hard-to-access surfaces. To transport your power tiller easily or store it in a space-saving manner, simply fold down the bar.

  • CLEANING POSITION Zoom
