4 Cycle Mini Cultivator

The media could not be loaded. Way better quality than expected, comes with oil also, heavy for what it is, my harbor freight predator tiller blew up and this is my replacement, and seems heavier duty than the predator, and my dads craftsman, much quieter being 4 stroke, very responsive throttle and seems plenty powerful. Overall very happy I chose this one, will test durability soon enough. I haven’t found the spark plug and assume it’s under the cover, not easily accessible but honestly the spark plug should last about the life of the tiller from my experience

Upon startup, the unit would only idle. After some investigating, I found the throttle cable not connected to the carburetor. I figured it was an oops so I connected it and away I went.. The motor runs great. The tines do their job very well. However, the carburetor will stick momentarily in any position and indefinitely in full throttle, that is until the throttle cable comes out of the swivel connector and then unit will only idle. Everything but the carburetor on this works great, unfortunately because the carb is troublesome, I’m going to pursue returning this unit for a different model, if a replacement carburetor is no available.

Great customer service. I ordered this tiller and received it within 4 days. Assembly was quick and easy. Being self confident I turned it on it's side and filled the oil chamber. I took it outside to crank and it wouldn't start. I was very disappointed and figured I had just been ripped off on another cheap piece of Chinese junk. I called customer service and the man I talked to was extremely polite, and pointed out that it is important not to put too much oil in this tiller. 2.5 ounces is the proper oil level. Had I took the time to read the instructions I would have seen this. I asked if I could just pour out the oil and start over, he advised me to not do this. He explained he would send me another tiller right away. I received the new tiller within 3 days, followed the instructions on adding oil and it cranked on the fist pull every time I started it. This little tiller is a beast, it will till with so little effort. Within 45 minutes I had tilled up a new garden plot that is 20'x30'. It would have taken me hours with a shovel or fork. The new tiller came with a shipping return sticker and It was easy packing away the first tiller into the box of the new one. UPS picked it up and returned it for free. I never had to call Amazon at all. Garden Trax customer service 800# was all it took to solve the problem fast and free. Great product and really great customer service.

Light weight, great price and does the job quickly and efficiently. We found that it will not cut through turf, but once we turned over the soil with a shovel and ran the cultivator over the dirt clods, it made fast work of breaking down the soil. Hard to start with the pull, but once it is going it doesn’t stop.

I ordered this item mainly because of the good reviews for the tiller itself, but was put at ease by the reviews of the customer service, as well. I didn't think I'd have to find out first hand about the customer service but my luck ...I'm "that guy"...the one that gets the defective unit. Sure enough, the first time I poured gas into the tank, it started dribbling out the bottom from a bad "seam". I called customer service and crossed my fingers. They were very friendly and personable, but to my initial dismay only offered to send out a replacement tank...expecting me to install it myself! I'm pretty handy and wouldn't really have a problem trying to do it, but after hearing the reviews where they promptly sent out a whole new tiller (even when it was the customer's fault for over filling the oil, for example), and considering I had the tiller all of a couple hours before discovering the defect, I felt like that they should've sent out a new tiller. To his credit, the man on the phone (I got the impression he's the owner) changed his answer before I could argue. He said "I don't want to delay your planting any more than I have to." He sent out a new tiller with a shipping label for the old one to send back. That's what I have to say about the customer service (besides 'thank you and sorry for the delay in writing my review'). As for the machine: one of the best I've ever used in the last 30 years. A real Tasmanian Devil chewing up sod, dirt...whatever, but small and lightweight. Controls in the right place, easy to assemble. Only thing is that it would be a little more stable with one of those "depth/drag bars in the back, and the spark plug's impossible to find, but I love this little beast.
