can it handle clay soil ?

Yes, my garden has a lot of clay. It handles it easily. The only thing that stops it is small rocks which wedge in the rotor. The are easily freed by a quick hand twist. Had it through two seasons and no problems.

what is rpm? does it have a high and low speed? raised bed do not want to throw dirt out

Hi Jamie,The TJ599E has just one speed, with a push button safety and trigger on/off switch. The RPM is a guesstimate of about 150 RPM. The "cowl flair" just above the tiller blades acts like a mud flap, so it doesn't throw dirt backward. And as you tilt the handle more horizontal the back flared area prevents the tillers from going deeper in the ground. It is well built, great for a small garden or raised bed. I felt comfortable enough with it's control to use it close to plastic sprinkler pipes in my raised beds. It was designed for residential tilling, not for commercial tilling clay or dry hard ground. Ivy or roots can wind around the blades causing you to stop and untangle them. The one noted negative I found was the strength you have to push the safety button with your palm before pulling the switch in. It is on the left side, so being left handed, it is not easy to push it in. OTOH, it is a safety switch, for safety. Hopefully it will loosen up with use.

is this good for tilling ground for the first time?

Don’t buy this it’s junk. Plastic gears we’re stripped before it touched the ground.
