Honda FRC800 20" Commercial Rear-Tine Tiller – Self-Propelled GX240 Power with Innovative Loop-Handle Control

Overview

The Honda FRC800 is the pinnacle of Honda’s tiller lineup, a full-sized, heavy-duty rear-tine machine built for the most grueling commercial and rental applications. Powered by the high-torque Honda GX240 engine, it is engineered to break through unturned sod and heavy clay with ease. Unlike front or mid-tine models, the FRC800 is self-propelled, using large 14-inch tires to provide exceptional traction and stability, allowing the tines to focus entirely on pulverizing the soil into a fine, planting-ready loam.

One of its most unique features is the "Loop Handle" design, which allows the operator to control the machine from the center, left, or right side. This is a game-changer when turning at the end of a row or tilling alongside fences and structures. Combined with a multi-speed transmission and an advanced Cyclone air filtration system, the FRC800 is built to deliver professional results in the dustiest and toughest conditions imaginable.

Top Performance Features

• Self-Propelled 3-Forward/1-Reverse Transmission: Multiple speeds allow you to match the pace to the soil type—slow for breaking new sod and faster for secondary cultivation or transport.

   

• Honda GX240 Commercial Engine: A 270cc 4-stroke powerhouse that offers quiet, fuel-efficient operation and effortless starting, even after sitting between seasons.

   

• Convenient Loop-Handle Design: Enables safe operation from multiple angles, making it much easier to maneuver in tight corners or execute sharp turns at the end of a garden row.

   

• Low-Maintenance Cyclone Air Filter: Uses triple cyclone chambers to spin out dust and debris before they reach the filter, extending service intervals by up to 600%—essential for dusty tilling work.

   

• 20-Inch Tilling Width & 12-Inch Tines: Large-diameter tines and a wide path make quick work of large acreage plots and commercial landscaping jobs.

   

• Heavy-Duty Rear Debris Shield: A full-width metal enclosure protects the operator from flying debris and helps level the freshly tilled soil for a smooth, professional finish.

   

• 4-Position Adjustable Handlebar: Easily customize the height of the controls to ensure an ergonomic and comfortable posture for any operator.

• Safety Reverse Lock-Out: For maximum operator safety, the tines automatically disengage whenever the transmission is shifted into reverse.
