Assembling a Champion 19" Rear-tine Rototiller

- The weeds get away from us so quickly on the farm. It's hard to keep up with the garden when the weeds take over. So we decided we needed a tiller this year. We opted for low-budget as we didn't feel we needed all the bells and whistles, just something to turn the weeds in. The tiller of choice is the Champion 19" Rear Tine Tiller.
The store was so busy, and the tiller we wanted wasn't assembled yet, but we were able to bring it home and assemble it ourselves. Brent didn't have to spend too long putting it all together.
If you want to see the tiller in use: • June on the Farm: Day ...

Just got mine yesterday from Home Depot!! Thank you for sharing. Assembline soon.
Yay! A new tiller!!!! Looks like getting into the box was the most time consuming part - typical. Good job Brent!!!
LOL! Yeah, it did take a little bit of time for that box. Ha!
Thank you sir and have a great rest of your week!
Thank you very much! And you as well!
This is so exciting to see you are getting a tool that you can use for so many different things. I also love watching your channel and I love your lavender tea, it is so tasty. Hope you have a happy and safe up coming weekend ahead!
Thanks, Sindy! I'm quite relieved to have the tiller. Brent dug up some of the garden already, and oh my! What a saving on time and energy that otherwise I would have spent on weeding alone! I'm so glad you enjoy my channel, and the tea! :)
Very useful in the garden.
For sure! Can't wait to anihilate those weeds!
Just picked up from Home Depot today (8/14/2023) - a few hours ago. Thanks the video and will make sure I will align the wheels before tilling (lol). Thanks for all the pre-cautions
Good deal! Glad to help!
Thanks. I ordered one of these tillers three days ago and it's on the way. Can't wait to give it a try as fighting the old front tine tiller just doesn't do it for me at my age. Good luck and God bless.
Lavender is my favorite plant. Just started growing them last summer in my back yard. Hope to watch your channel and learn how to take care them. Congratulations on your new tool. Also it is joyful to watch your videos!
Thank you so much! I'll be getting my lavender in the ground here very soon! A very wonderful plant!
Thank you. Just assembled mine and at first didn’t get the “manual” clutch on the pins/wheels. But your video helped me to understand it. Raining here too btw.
Glad we could help!
Great job 👏
Thanks! :) It'll be so nice to get this out in the garden!
Great video! Thank you!

Muy buen video
Thank you! :)
Did I miss it or did you NOT check the trans oil ? In my case it looks like grease, but it calls for 85w 140 oil. It is about like jelly when you check. My other new tiller has thick oil in trans but is liquid, like 90w gear oil.Grease does not sound right for transmission.
I did not check the trans oil/grease but had read up on it and expected that to be the case.
Since there’s no gears, just a clutch mechanism, I’m not too surprised it’s not a liquid 🤷♂️
I'm confused. there is literally a sticker on it that say's GREAR DRIVE transmission. There is also a sticker that says use only 85w 140 gear oil. @@BrentBerghermPhotography
@@Bill-Rocker yes I just read the user manual and that’s the correct oil. I’ve never cracked it open to inspect it or to check the level yet 🤷♂️
I just bought 1, it also looks like jelly in the transmission, is it ok?
I can't tell you if it's ok or not. I see no way it works very well in my mind. I spent about an hour scooping it out through the fill plug.I ran it forward/reverse, scoop some more, fill repeat. I got out a lot and filled it with 90 / 140w or something similar.@@TomTom-io8lc
Where's the reverse demonstration? That's what I want to know.
Reverse as in... taking apart the rototillar? Lol! Or running it in reverse?
@@quarter-milefarm9733 everyone shows how it runs forward but I want to know how to use the reverse gear.
@@stevenjames1503 I see... Well, I can see if my hubby will give such a demonstration. But I can't guarantee one.
@@quarter-milefarm9733 it ok I'll figure it out. Thanks
Great video! How did it do for your garden? We need to get a tiller too...I'm hoping the rain slows down soon...need to get things done in the garden and on the outside of the house
It did great in our garden. Will hopefully get some more done today, but we had a ton of rain yesterday, so the ground may be too wet. I'm going to try to get a few things planted today, but can't do much until more space is tilled up. Looking forward to seeing the progress on your place!
Great Video Thank you for the details I just put mine together how is yours holding up ?
Ours is doing great - in fact, Brent just made an attachment to help things go even better. We took some footage of it, but I'm not sure when it will be edited and uploaded.
Just bought one, the transmission looks like it has jelly in it, is it ok like that?
Sorry for the late response - you likely have figured out the answer. I meant to have Brent get on to answer, but we never did. It is indeed to be like that.
where was your depth gauge at in the package. I think mine was missing. I plan on calling them tomrw
I'm not even sure - I wasn't out there when Brent was putting it together. I'll see if he happens to remember.
I just purchased one today mistakenly put oil that came with it were gear oil goes is this ok to use or do I need to drain and replace with gear oil and if need to drain how to do
It will have to be changed gear oil is thicker than the engine oil
You forgot the gear oil. Back of the engine. Requires a heavy weight oil.
I think he did everything the instructions were calling for. I'll check with him to be sure.
You think a rear till is better than a feont till?
The rear till are usually bigger and more robust, but the front till is more self-propelled. This rear tine is a counter-rotating so it requires a bit of a push to keep it going. The front tillers are usually smaller, and we wanted the bigger option.
Wow, you would think they would put a neutral mechanism in the transmission so the wheels could spin freely whenever neutral is engaged instead of getting on your knees to lift that beast to disengage the wheels. $897.00 at Homedepot is to much money for something that doesn't have a neutral selection in the transmissio. Looks good but a little too much money.
Yeah, you'd think in these days, they would come up with something like that in these less expensive machines, but they like to save that feature for the $1000s+ machines. For less money, you won't get any more fetaures though... We certainly could wish for a nice mechanism to change gears, but couldn't afford a more expensive machine. Also... in our area, there was't much selection, period. I agree, expensive... but it's what was available. And let me tell you, sure is better than getting out there with a hoe! Lol!
Tengo una de estas pero el problema es que la correa se desgasta le compre otra y el mismo problema ya la va acabando y no tiene mucha fuerza para trabajar alguien puede darme un consejo
Lo siento! No se! No tenemos una problema con nuestros. Tal vez alguien más puede ayudar...
Just got one. I would prefer self-assembly. I don't think they (Home Depot) do t know what theyre doing. Belt doesn't seem to have the right tension. Throttle not adjusted correctly. And my gas cap leaks like crazy 😡😭🙄🤷
I guess it was a good thing then that we got to assemble it ourselves. It really wasn't that difficult. And we aren't dealing with those issues you are. Bummer!
When shipped is it always in a box like this or do some places have more stuff assembled? Thanks! Happy farming!
We bought it at The Home Depot and they do usually assemble them and sell them that way. When we were there, they didn't have any assembled, and they were very busy - so busy they asked us if we wanted a job. Lol! To help them out, and to get out of the store sooner, we asked if we could just take it home in the box and put it together ourselves. They said that worked for them.
@@quarter-milefarm9733 awesome thanks for letting me know. I just got mine at Home Depot!
@@quarter-milefarm9733 for some reason mine keeps shutting off every 1-3 minutes of use. Do you know why it could be doing this.. I went through the owners manual and called they think it's the angle of tilling or a new carburetor... what do you think? Thanks!
@@ohi8ofan It does have a cut-off if the angle gets too steep. It could be a faulty cut-off switch. Does it sputter before it dies, or just flat out die?
@@ohi8ofan Also, if dirt was ever able to get into the fuel system, it could clog the fuel filter.
