Electric Hoe Uses Common Tool Batteries

Electric Hoe Uses Common Tool Batteries The Tilmor E-OX electric hoe has five speeds and can operate from 20V or 18V batteries from Dewalt, Makita or Milwaukee. Designed to reduce hand labor, it combines the function of a wheel hoe and the power of a walk-behind tractor. Folding handlebars also make it easy to transport. E-OX is also effective in hoop houses or large greenhouses where exhaust fumes can be a problem. It features handlebar controls and a battery indicator, and can run at speeds of up to 3.6 mph. Measuring 45 in. long and 34 in. high, the E-OX is 16 in. wide. Modeled after the Planet Jr. Tuffy cultivator, its tools also fit the E-OX. Prices start at $1,950 online, plus shipping. Batteries are not included, and you’ll need to order a model that matches your current battery brand. Two batteries are required for operation, and they recommend 6.0 Ah batteries. The electric hoe has a runtime of up to 70 min., and can cultivate, hoe, hill, mow, haul and more. Run times are based on real-world testing but may vary depending on actual conditions. “We’re grateful to have a relationship with Tilmor and the job that their tool has brought to our farm,” says Carl Pepper of Pepper’s Farm in Lubbock, Texas. Tools can be switched with a pull of a pin at the back of the unit. Available attachments include a finger-weeding kit, oscillating hoe, plow set, cultivator teeth kit and side knife kit. They’re available individually or as a package online. All five tools will add $1,130 to the price, plus shipping. Tilmor offers a limited 1-year product warranty. The E-OX and tools can be ordered online or by calling Tilmor. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Tilmor, 295 Kurzen Rd. N., Dalton, Ohio 44618 (ph 844-255-5864, info@tilmor.com; www.tilmor.com).
