This tiller worked better than I thought it would. We used it to till up ground from an old chicken coop about 6 inches deep. It did the job well and only got bogged down when a large rock got caught in the blades. It cut through the hard dirt easily and made that job much easier than digging by hand. I was very pleased with it.
Any doubts I may have had due to the small size of the tiller evaporated when I plugged in my new best gardening buddy. Instantly my dreams to remove the collection of weeds I erroneously called a lawn became a reality. Due to existing plantings I had to be able to get in between things. Old roots were easily dislodged. This baby sized beast continues to amaze me. Florida is the land of flowers and my Sun Joe tiller is making all my gardening dreams real. As times have changed I am adding edible plants as well. Easy to operate and truly built to last.
So it appears small and it is. But that's where it ends, the rest is big. It has a lot of power. On a lawn that was not tilled previously, set on lowest depth and hold on. It has a tendency to run off. Once that is done you can set it a bit deeper and it will work thru at a good pace. It surprised me just how well it worked.
was a little skeptical when I opened the box, BUT when I got it put together, which was very easy, and used it for the first time I was amazed and what this tiller could do. Very happy!!
