Honda FG110 Mini Tiller Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 май 2018
- The Honda FG 110 is a reliable mini tiller that is great for cultivating between the rows of vegetables or flowers in your garden. You can also use it as your primary rototiller for smaller gardens. I have had two of them for years, and they are my main powertool that I use in the garden after I use my larger tiller for the initial breaking of the sod. (In some parts of the video it looks like the wheel/tine is not spinning, but it is - it's called the stroboscopic effect. If the RPM of an object matches the frame rate of the video it looks like the object is standing still, or it can look like it is moving slower or in the opposite direction.)

I'm glad I watched this video before buying one, definitely want a walk behind.
This little tiller is a beast! Mine runs great and chews up the soil nicely. Sometimes I pull it backwards to assist in the till.
I agree with you. I also sometimes pull it backwards but not that often. My dad had a Mantis tiller when I was growing up, and I think we always pulled that one backwards. The Honda seems to do the job the easy way. I just recently got mine out of the shed and it started right up, which is something I really like about it.
Found a Once Used FG-110 at a garage sale for $50.oo.. I love it
I'm really glad I purchased this one.. no regrets whatsoever!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND regreasing the trans! I checked mine new out of box and it was 50-75% low. I saw another Lad in a vid that pointed this out aswell. SAVE THAT TRANS! New or used, just take 10mins to top off the grease filler plugs
Thanks for the info.
You get a 👍'S UP
How much one set and where to order.
Does it put any pressure on your lower back?
I've noticed my Honda power equipment always starts on the first pull but they like to warm up...my GCV190 powered Husqvarna D900 tiller especially, Honda GCV160 lawn mower engine is the same way. I rented a big Honda tiller once...yep, had to sit for 2-3 minutes idling before it would go
With this one the instructions said to wait until year hear a change in the sound of the engine before you start to use it. You can hear the change in about a minute or two, and you know it's time to go.
Prise kitna
Glad I watched, I was about to buy one, but that is way to much work.
It is more work in some ways. I would not want to till a large garden with it, but for small jobs and cultivating I really like it. I also like the fact that it is reliable and easy to start.
If a little works scares you, gardening is probably not for you.
Works good while it lasted.
After 2 hours of running it the Motor sounded funny and 30mins later it died, drained the oil and it looked like a Metallic Silver Cup of OJ. Engine damaged no doubt.
Stupid question but did you put oil in?
We have the same model. Weve always used the non-ethanol gas in it. Our carburetor needs replacing but we cant find any video tutorials on how to change out the carburetor. Did you happen to film it when you replaced yours?
Sorry to hear that. I do not have a carburetor replacement video.
Go on honda.com they have a bunch of videos on how to do maintenance on it, including the carburetor.
It should be the same as any other small 4 stroke engine, I am sure if you search you will find one similar
Get the digging tines...much faster than the regular tines when the ground is hard as a rock like yours
Thanks, I am going to check them out.
Im confused as to what to do with the wheels that came with mine? When do you use them?
Just transport wheels ... don't really need them unless you're rolling the tiller from one place to another without it running. This thing is small enough to carry around from one place to another.
Small Engine Tech: if you are waiting that long choked and unchoked to begin work with your tiller.....it needs serviced. i would guess it needs a carb adjustment.
It's part of the normal start-up process with this tiller. Once it starts you have to wait until you can hear the change in the sound of the engine, and then it is ready to till.
@@JimODonnellFarm jim, i just bought one last week. It needs no warm up time. Are you pumping primer bulb first, then choke, then pull start? Primer bulb is the key.
My first run was: add gas, primer bulb 4-5pumps, apply choke, pullstart and till with zero warmup.
Buy a Mantis two cycle instead of the Honda FG 110. I have used both and the Honda 4 cycle engine is difficult to start and very finicky. The Mantis is easy to start and has a more efficient tile set for basic tilling. The only reason to buy a Honda is that you can get a number of different tine sets.
I am not familiar with the Mantis. I may have to get one to check it out. However, from my experience with the Honda it is very easy to start, which is probably why I use it most of the time. I have two FG 110s, and both start up no problem, even after spending the winter in the shed.
I had a Mantis and I hated it. Much prefer the Honda.
I feel they were made to be pulled backwards, then you drive to forward to the next furrow and repeat by pulling it again , a patch will then be ploughed in no time flat
You can use them that way. From my experience it's a lot easier to just go forwards. It takes a bit more muscle to pull them backwards. Either way works though.
@@JimODonnellFarm I’ll try it that way but it doesn’t seem to bounce around and I get neater furrows
Thank you Jim, for making that video. I had a small one just like yours for about seven years but I guess I didn’t know how to look after it properly because I have just been told it is irreparable.
What do you do before you store yours for the winter? We always added gas line stabilizer, and we started with fresh gas every season.
I just took it into the third repair man and I was charged $40 for him to look at it. So I’m buying a new one tomorrow. And with tax it’s almost $800. Can you give me any pointers to ensure that I don’t ever have to buy another one?
( I am 77 so I don’t think I’m expecting anything unreasonable.)
How do you demonstrate it is so handy just puttering around rows.
I appreciate that you gave directions for starting make it look very simple. I often had trouble starting mine. Thanks.
Buen dia.En el dia de hoy voy a comprar uno.Debido al video que usted expone.Tengo un motocultor poderoso,pero este Honda,me interesa para las carpidas.Espero me resulte,ya que en mi nacion los importan a un precio,que para nosotros es costoso,700 dolares.Un abrazo.
Hi Roberto. I hope the Honda works out well for you. I really like mine and have had it for about 10 years. Jim

Hola, que tal.
La puse en funcionamiento hoy.
Muy contento.
El resultado que yo esperaba.
Un abrazo.
Sir price bataye
They usually cost about $300 to $350 US Dollars.
I dont see why it doesnt go through the soil, i have the same machine and it eats through it like a beast, I wonder if your teeth are worn out
I think I’ll rent a horse and buy a plow.
So basically it tills down about 2.5 inches, lol?
It seems like that, but you really can get it to go about as deep as you want by doing a couple passes, and it makes its own trench and just drops down as you till.
BOLLIER FOR KANSAS 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. No marshall.👎👎👎
That thing's not doing shit
Piece of junk. Only lasted 2 summers before the motor locked up. I maintained it regularly changing the oil every 20 hours. Repair man tries to tell me it was from neglect. Honda has him trained well.
Did you put oil in it?
Did you use non ethanol gas?
