Scotts 20V Cordless Garden Tiller TC70020S — 7.5" Width, 2.0Ah Battery, Lightweight 4-Tine

This battery-powered mini tiller from Scotts is built to make soil preparation faster and cleaner without the noise and upkeep of gas engines. Equipped with a 20V 2.0Ah lithium-ion battery and four steel tines, it breaks up compacted soil, mixes amendments, and removes surface weeds with minimal effort. The cordless design gives you freedom of movement while the compact footprint reaches edges and tight spaces that larger machines can’t.

How much ground can this tiller handle in a single pass?

The TC70020S turns a narrow but effective path—ideal for garden rows, raised beds, and edging. Expect a working width up to 7.5 inches and tine penetration around 6 inches, though actual depth depends on soil type and compaction.

• Tilling width: up to 7.5 inches for single-pass edging and beds
• Tilling depth: about 6 inches in loose soil; shallower in heavy clay
• Four steel tines designed for light-to-medium soil preparation

Will the battery power last for typical garden tasks?

The tiller ships with a 20V 2.0Ah lithium-ion battery and fast charger to get you started; run time varies with soil resistance and workload. For light cultivation, mixing compost, and weeding passes the battery will power several short sessions, and the charger quickly replenishes power between jobs.

• Includes 20V 2.0Ah lithium-ion battery and fast charger
• Scotts 20-volt batteries compatible across other Scotts 20V tools
• Best for short, targeted tasks—multiple batteries extend continuous use

How easy is it to maneuver, store, and maintain?

This tiller is purpose-built to be light and simple: a compact body, auxiliary handle for balance, and cordless freedom mean less strain and easier transport. Maintenance is limited compared with gas models—no fuel mixing, fewer moving parts, and quieter operation make it shed-friendly and user-friendly.

• Lightweight construction and auxiliary handle for stable control
• Cordless operation eliminates gas, oil, and spark plug upkeep
• Compact size stores easily inside a shed or on a porch

What gardening jobs is this tiller best suited for?

The compact footprint and steel tines make this tool ideal for pre-plant soil prep, mixing amendments in small plots, and post-season cleanup along beds and borders. It’s not intended as a full-scale rotary tiller replacement but excels at targeted, repeatable tasks that improve soil texture and root aeration.

• Preparing raised beds and small vegetable plots
• Mixing compost, fertilizers, and soil amendments into topsoil
• Clearing shallow weeds and cultivating garden edges

Who is this for? The Scotts TC70020S is aimed at homeowners, urban gardeners, and anyone with raised beds, flower borders, or small allotments who wants a quiet, low-maintenance tool for soil preparation. If you need a nimble, battery-powered cultivator for routine garden work—mixing amendments, loosening topsoil, and removing surface weeds—this tiller delivers a straightforward, cordless solution that pairs with other Scotts 20-volt tools for shared batteries and chargers.
