Because it works day after day! Equipment in the rental industry must be able to withstand heavy use, rough handling and transportation bruises and still rent tomorrow. Twelve years ago Maxim engineered a "beefy" tiller designed specifically for the rental industry. These tillers combine ease of operation and maintenance with heavy duty all steel construction.

Maxim tillers feature heavy gauge heat treated tines, an extra heavy duty frame with lift bar, and a specially designed transmission. The extruded gear case has flanges where the tine shaft enters the transmission. The shields help prevent wire, vines and other hazards from entering the transmission. Sturdy design cannot prevent all problems, but a Maxim tiller's transmission can be opened for repair. Maxim transmissions are warranted for a year, but may be exchanged at any time for a rebuilt transmission. For minimal down time repair parts are offered direct from the factory with same day shipment if ordered by noon (under normal circumstances).

Maxim's commitment to rental ease is also found in the simple to maintain design. Belts, tines, transmission, and engine are all easy to access and service. Check fluids and filters, tighten loose bolts as necessary, and hose off the dirt and the tiller is ready to rent again.

The simple, yet sturdy, design that makes Maxim tillers low maintenance makes them easy to use. Even first time users can till effectively because there is no confusing gadgetry -- just a straightforward "crank and till" design. The tiller will push through virtually all soil challenges and with accessories can plow, trench, mix and aerate.

Maxim Rental Tillers are available in three gear box sizes and many engine alternatives -- Honda, Robin, Briggs and Stratton, B & S IC, Briggs Vanguard and Tecumseh. In addition to the large selection of tillers, Maxim offers a full range of lawn and garden rental equipment (edgers, mowers. log splitters, and hand trucks) with the same rugged, dependable design found in Maxim tillers.
