Very light in weight it will "bounce" on hard pack soil once you have started the engine , when soil is penetrated the tiller will break down the chunks rapidly to about 8-10" deep . Adjust the length of the handles according to your height ( comfort and control ) . The paper instruction pamphlet is poor /incomplete not very instructive - Go online
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Bobbybonz,
We greatly appreciate your feedback and are glad you had some pros and cons to share with us. We use information like this and work with the various teams within Greenworks to market, design, and sell the products are customers want or need.
If the tiller stays and digs in at one spot, try rocking it from side to side in order to start it moving forward again. In order to dig more deeply, lift up on the handlebar pushing the front harder into the ground. Apply downward pressure on the handlebar, pulling the tiller down towards you for shallower cultivating. Lastly, dry soil is difficult to cultivate, if the soil is very hard, water it a few days before cultivating
We hope others will find your review helpful! Should you have any questions or warranty needs, please contact Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934.
I use this in already tilled garden Works really good for cultivating and getting weeds out don’t know how good it would work if the ground hasn’t been broke yet
Fresh out of the box today, I was able to rough out two 18' rows on tough, dry, virgin land... 60V 4A battery lasted a little over an hour. For it's size and price, this thing is a work horse for small projects. The only issue I have is that the handle is too high. I'd love it more if the handle was adjustable.
Super lightweight, easy to handle, charge lasts long enough that when it dies I am ready for a break. The battery charges quick and I can be back to work. I have rocky soil and clay about 6-8 inches down, it can still till that up, but I do have to focus it in one area for a minute sometimes if the sod is dense. It is compact enough that is stores nicely as well.
I tried using it back and forth and then tried in a arcing motion. It worked well both ways. But I found it easier in the sweeping motion. I am 69 female with back issues and this was relatively easy to use. I like how big the wheels are for transporting it from one location to another.
