Thanks SO much for this thorough review of this mini tiller-cultivator. It's just what I need. It helped me to decide. I am 75 years old and need something I can load up in my car trunk to take to my daughter's house so they can use it as well. We both will have small veggie gardens this year! You did an outstanding job showing everything! I appreciate it SO much!

This machine has only 25CC and thought it's small engine. But, wow it is strong and pulls me fast. I love Honda engine. It is easy to start and not much issue. It's kind of expensive comparing with others.

I have sort of the same problem. I live in a mobile home park in the States, in the Pacific North West, and it rains here about 9 months out of the year. I just moved here last year, and the plot I'm on is about 45 years old and very poorly maintained. I want to have some raised garden beds put in so that I can plant some veggies and sunflowers in the Spring, but the ground is just so bad with overgrown grass and weeds in clumps, with bare bits of mud here and there. This is also compounded by the possible issue that there may be underground wires and pipes, and if they are there then I don't know how deep they are, and I'm not sure the property manager would know either. They've had numerous broken pipes throughout the park, and my yard also has an old shop with electricity in it, so I don't want to risk breaking a pipe or cutting a wire (assuming that the wiring to the shop runs underneath the soil and to the electrical box behind my house). So I'm looking at either something like this, or a gas-powered walk-behind string mower. If I do get the tiller, then I'm thinking that I don't want to take more than just a couple of inches out of the top layer of soil....just enough to get these damn clumps uprooted so that I can level the ground out and put some wood chip or mulch down. Winter is right around the corner here, so I doubt I'll be doing much about this right now. But I think I'll talk with my manager and see what she has to say. Thanks for the review! Sorry for the rambling. XD

Thanks for the information. I'm wondering...what is it that dictates the depth capabilities of a tiller....is it horsepower or just the diameter of the tines... both .. or something else?
@PracticalPrimate
3 жыл бұрын
For these little tillers it is both and of course soil type also plays a part. In my soil this model bottoms out easily and you can always just go slower to get to full depth. You can (painfully) go deeper than the diameter of the tines if required but have to take it very slow doing small sections at a time (not efficient at all).

Hi K Yes picked this up in May of 2020. They definitely still sell it here (Australia) and I assume anywhere they import Honda tillers (Honda make a wide range of models including much larger market garden tillers). I am surprised to hear you can’t get one there. There are similar models that aren’t sold here that may be there? These include the husqvarna version and the mantis tiller. Yes the manual says grease, lots of small gearboxes like this run on grease rather than oil. As the grease heats up it lubricates the important parts. While it would still protect the worm drive momentarily, I suspect if you filled it with oil it would leak and run dry very quickly. Hope that helps, All the best :) Dan

@@PracticalPrimate Thank you for the response. There are 2 similar models (Husqvarna and Oleo-mac) that are listed in a few webshops, but none of them are actually available, when I ask about it. I try webshops in near countries, probably not Australia. :) The only model I could get is a very cheap (1/3 price of this Honda and the others), and very bad piece of trash. I tried that once (and thought that I need a tiller like this, but not that one), and among other problems, I noticed that the gearbox was so hot that it nearly burns my head when I touched. Does the gearbox of this Honda heat up too?
