Yes was great deal!!! Word is the sale price was inverted with amount off, some did a big bobo. Bought up over twenty of different models. After assembling the first one, was kind of a bear, I used cherry picker/engine lift and assembled in the air. First batch that was delivered had transmission/gear oil all over them. Called Champion and refund pickup was set. The persons that asked me get them one wanted as soon as possible. Cleaned up several and assembled, set fluid levels, started and ran. Don't care for gear box performance. Old guy me has a hard time moving in neutral. Like that it is supposed to have neutral, just wish it was better. I also assembled the other models on that add Those have simple gear box with no neutral, but easy enough to pull wheel pins and free wheel. All models worked good and everyone happy with pricing error. Customer support was great with both the Legend and Champion models. Champion sent replacement wheels as was problem with air stem shearing of the tube inside. Not sure why the tube was use as is tubeless design. Wheel shafts on gear model is hex shape so no free wheeling option on the big wheels. Nicely done sir!! Thought I would share my experience also.
The best way I found to take the cage off was to take a grinder with a cutting wheel and cut the angle iron at the bottom. The cage just lifts up and you can roll the tiller off the bottom. Much much easier than trying to lift the super heavy tiller.
Waiting for delivery. Could you comment on there being two variations of this same tiller? One has the gear shifters near the motor like yours and the other has forward and reverse operated from the handles. Are the shifters a hassle?
Glad you were able to get yours, I ordered on Aug 28, online there was supposedly 79 left, I get an email from HD a few days later sayiing it was Backordered. They also said that if I don't get it by Sept 22 they will cancel the order. I believe they are not intending to fulfill the order at all. This is just another reason to dislike HD and the evil orange empire they have built.
They told me mine was going to be delivered within one week, but it took a month to actually receive it I was wary if I was ever going to receive it It is a pretty nice machine, and I will keep watch on. If it offer comes up again, I would buy another.
Depot cancelled my order for champion and yard max. Cancelled my brothers order for champion My uncle got his champion I flipped out They made it right. For family what wouldn’t we do. It was a steal of a price.
@@Nosurrender0 good on your dad for getting his order. I was able to extend my order so I have no idea if they will fulfill it, but I doubt it. HD has been a horrible company to deal with. I remember about 15 years ago, their reputation in the IT world was really bad. I was asked by my company if I would go there to work on site and I told them no at the time. Then I was recuited by Microsoft for a full time position in ATL, asked them if it was HD, which they reluctantly acknowledged and told them there was no amount of money they could pay me to work there. Fun fact, there are supposedly 3 in stock at a HD just 8 miles away from me.
These are being sold by people on FBM all over the country right now, mostly in the 300-400 range. Obviously lots of people bought them with the intention of selling them later. I wish I would have been in the market when those deals came out.

Thanks for that info and thanks for watching
That makes sense. Wondered why everyone has them so cheap. Just bought one today in the box for $340.
I see you used the tiller. Looks like it did a great job of tilling plus a very good price..
Good tiller
Good price
That was well worth the money!!!! Thanks!
I will be watching the website closer as right now it is at the $700 range

Now that is a good idea

I can speak for the one I have and it does shift kinda stiff
I have no experience with the other type
Hope that helps a little bit
Question were do I get parts for it missing the bar for depth 🤔
I have not tried to order parts, but I would start with Home Depot
Good luck
My gear box is stuck. There's pins that's holding the handles. Do i take them out?
I don’t know that the pins in the handle would help on that

Depot cancelled my order for champion and yard max.
Cancelled my brothers order for champion
My uncle got his champion
I flipped out
They made it right.
For family what wouldn’t we do.
It was a steal of a price.

@@Nosurrender0 I feel lucky to get mine
Thanks for watching
I cant get the gear to shift? Plwase help
I didn’t notice it was stilff when I had mine
Legend force roto tiller 15" cultivator model #A063001 will no switch off what is wrong with it went wrong
I’m not sure I understand your question correctly, but if it will not turn off, I would look closely at the wiring and the switch
You didn't explain the gear selector options.
Well oops
Thanks for watching
Yeah that’s what I was here for
I used portable bandsaw cut frame apart
That is a good idea. If I get another one that’s exactly what I’ll do.
Thanks for watching
Or a reciprocating saw
Nice tiller . Who could pass that up for 199.99 .
It’s a beast
It is hard to see how they can make and sell it that for that price
Well, that was the sales price it’s back up to $700 now
For what it’s worth, a guy in Cincinnati, OH has these for $250
Does he have several?

After I receive mine three weeks later in the mail, I went back on the website and they were back up to full price again
