I wanted something sturdy to rotovate the soil in my garden. This is certainly sturdy but it's probably a bit too big for my size of garden. It is pretty heavy and not easy for me to manipulate around the veggie plots I need it for, but it's done the job and it's fine. It arrived on a pallet and was housed inside a solid metal edged framework, so getting it unpacked was a bit of a challenge to start with! The instructions for putting it together could have been better, but I managed it and got it started up first time. It does cut out quite often which is annoying, but I suspect it's because my garden is on a slope. It does have strong pulling power and it digs to a good depth for what we need. Reverse gear is a good feature as you can back up and take another run at a particular challenging bit! Overall, pleased with product.Read full review

Great item, well constructed although instructions didn't cover all bolt placements. Being an engineer it didn't take long to sort this out though. The tiller started on first pull and copes well with the heavy soil on the allotment. You do have to turn unused earth with a spade, but the tiller will easily do the rest of the work breaking down the soil. It has plenty of power to pull through heavy soil. So far I have been impressed with this machine, well worth the price paid.

Arrived within timescale and well packed. Has a metal frame surrounding machine. The assembly instructions are basic and some aspects of the process are missing from the instructions. Suspect that the type of people who will order this machine will have sufficient practical experience to be able to work it out, just like I did Make sure engine oil is added before starting, mine did have some oil in but topped it up. Machine started first time and runs well Easy to operate and turns the soil well.....saved me loads of effort and time to complete the first part of my veg area

This product is great as far as I am concerned. For the price, we have an easy pull start engine that is more than powerful enough. For ground that is old grassland, don't expect to get a beautiful one pass tilth. Patience is the trick and several passes will break the ground down to its lowest setting, dropping the depth control each pass. The machine is not too noisy and is capable of breaking up the toughest of ground, given a fair chance. I broke in about 1/3rd of an acre after a roundup spray to kill all the weeds to make an allotment area. The controls are really simple with a throttle and then a hand lever for either forward or reverse. Starting the motor is also very easy with a start virtually first time each time. The operation of the machine is not effortless and requires a degree of manipulation to keep it on track, especially when breaking in the first pass. As you get deeper, the machine tends to find its own path and all you have to do is push down the handlebars to keep it in the ground. Setting the handlebars at the correct height is vital and may need to be adjusted with each subsequent depth change. This will prove to be a lot easier on your own back in the end. Assembly took a little bit of working out but if you are willing to sit and use the instructions and a few ring spanners, it will come together relatively quickly. The deflector box on the rear of the machine is not the thickest and it does not take long for a few dents to appear due to the unearthing of stones by the rotors. For the money, it constituted good value to me and will be used every year and has already been loaned out several times to friends with no issues whatsoever. Just remember to check the tightness of bolts periodically and also tighten the drive belt after the first hour of work from the adjuster on the cable as the multi-vee belt does tend to bed in.Read full review
