I've had this about four months and have found it to be an aggressive and powerful rig. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxjo0FLo5z3Y_qUcT3vSlOqpMaMdFjvsXa I've used several others in the past and the Sun Joe surpasses these, easily. I note that several people have commented that it bounces on rocky and compacted soil. I believe that would be the case with all tillers - the ground does need to be "broken", either with a larger tractor type unit or with a shovel, and rocks need to be removed. I'm living on a Pike silt loam here in the midwest and the Sun Joe turns my garden to bug dust in two quick passes. I use a technique where I do a short 2 foot run then pull it back and let it go over it again.
The honda rear tine tiller is the best overall tiller for landscaping, gardening. Easy to understand and to use. Enough power for most jobs and not to large for the average person to handle. Cannot go wrong with this tiller, whether you are a landscaper or homeowner !!
Cant a front tiller go deeper than a rear? I own a front tine and I read specs on rears going about 6.5"... my axle is usually well beneath the surface and my times are 12" too, so I think I'm getting about 10" deep cause my top shield is about level with the top of the ground... From the side it looks like my engine is sitting on the ground. I dont think you can do that with a rear tine but as I get older I'm thinking a rear tine might be nicer on my body.
I rented it for $120/day. Works all right but I don't think its a 1 & done. Requires alot of extra work to prep sod. Especially if you do it in Spring after the rains have ended.
Wait... I used this tiller yesterday. It would randomly jump up speed up and drag me til I realized I need to let go then hurl me into the tines underneath when it suddenly stopped... No demo on why thats that?
Who makes that tiller? What is the model name? Yes, it has a Honda engine but is the whole tiller made by Honda or is it a different Brand with a Honda engine?
Regardless of the traffic very helpful video, straight to the point. Exactly what i was looking for.
Thank you for the foresight to do this video nearly 10 years ago!! Answered all my questions as I'm about to till my yard for sod.
I like this guy he’s cool and informative
Good job Miguel

thanks bob it really helped
I like the Own/Off switch. Nice to have on a rental. Yes, I'm being a smart-ass because of your accent. Thanks for the demo, it was helpful! :-)
How about doing a side by side till off with that thing and one of those tiny 2-cycle tillers that they sell at home depot?

Glad there wasn't a gas line buried there ...
I wish you would have used it for more than 3 seconds I still can’t judge if this is powerful enough to get it done
agreed
Next time do the video near a train station....maybe a lil quitter.. lol!
Great Honda...
How heavy? Would two grown guys be able to load and unload in a pickup truck?
I LOVE MAKEN MY MONEY AN EVERY THING OF LAND SCAPPING ITS A ART AMEN
rippin up grass
The noise is ridiculous but otherwise it would be good
Would a smaller tiller still work good? I need to tear up overgrown grass and turn it into a 10x25 foot garden.
Tiller or sod cutter???
20% grass 10% dirt 70% weeds
Weight: self propelled 🤷♂️ I was expecting a number.
That didn’t till very deep
Wait... I used this tiller yesterday. It would randomly jump up speed up and drag me til I realized I need to let go then hurl me into the tines underneath when it suddenly stopped...

11 years ago who was the president
An illegitimate idiot.

operator should use heavy duty boots, not Asics. LOL.
Worst place I’ve ever seen for a demo.Can’t hear half of what you’re saying even though I could make out the word “excellent” like half a dozen times.
Terrible video. No mention of how to use the diff lock or the skeg.
