Having grown up with gas operate tillers I was pleasantly surprised at how good this electric sunjoe tilled the ground and how easy it was to operate and handle. What a surprise!! No more heavy, cumbersome gas operated tillers for me.
I used this tiller on some ground that I partially dug up. It had some roots in it from some shrubs that I pulled out. It worked great, it even kicked out the small roots without bogging down. It worked better when I pulled the tiller backwards. When I did that the tiller dug down deep and the ground was chopped up real fine. It worked excellent and I am looking forward to use it next spring.
I've only used my new tiller a couple of times so far, to chew up some dead patches on my lawn. It definitely seems to have more than enough torque and bite: I had to be careful not to let it dig deeper than an inch or two into the soil. So far it seems like a great purchase, especially considering how affordable it was compared to gas tillers. I would definitely recommend it!
Finally got a chance to use this on a small pile of dirt I’ve been wanting to move. I thought it would turn slower than it did. This little machine took off and aggressively attacked the pile of dirt. In bare areas it quickly sank in about 4” deep. In grassy (Bermuda) areas is took a little bit to grab but when it did it worked just fine. I’m looking forward to putting it to the test on my 8’ X 16’ vegetable garden to prepare it for spring planting.
