Nice tiller Lucas, great video!👍🏻
Thanks, Bud!
Nice tiller! Looks like it's gonna serve you well 👍
Thanks, Buddy!
Hi i found your channel by chance this is the secound one i watchedx very interesting love the channel
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Lucas: I used to have a tiller. Very hard on the back, but does a great job. Gave up on the garden because the bugs and critters would eat everything. They are very hardy up here in Canada. Darn things wear snowshoes even! Take care and stay safe.
lol. Bugs in snowshoes…🤣😂
You know how you hate shoveling......well, that's me and a walk behind tiller. That's what tractors are for! 🤣🤣🤣
Lol. I do!
I’ve had pretty good luck with champion products. Leaf blower and generator.
Awesome! I’ll be looking at their other products.
I got the same one, think we got the same deal. I’m very happy with it and would buy another if i had to pay full price. I have watched Brock post about how reliable champion is, and that sold me. The only downside to his i have seen is actaully no fault of the tiller, but here in TN we have a lot of rock in the soil, ive beat the tine guard up quite a bit from kicking up rocks in first time tilled soil. Overall really happy with it, and like i said, would pay full price if I didn’t get such a good deal on it.
Yeah, I got the sale deal, but I’m like you, it’s worth the regular price. Champion makes some solid products.
My wife is retiring this winter and wants to start a garden. I am guessing we will be in the market for one, so thanks for the recommendation.
I do enjoy raising my garden. What do you think you all will raise?
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead A good question ;) Herbs for sure probably sweet corn, brussel sprouts, squash and lettuce to start.
Rear Tine tillers are a lot easier to use especially with weight distribution on the tines. Not sure I like the tines spinning all the time though, especially over stone surfaces and as you raise it to go over those obstacles, the tines are closer to your feet, having to do a Texas Two Step in forward motion.
I agree, I would like to be able to disengage the tines. Otherwise no complaints with the machine. Seems solid for the money.
1 thing to keep in mind, before each and every use, make sure the tires are aired up. I bought a new earthquake and while using it, on 2 different occasions, each tire stopped spinning. I emailed and called the company multiple times before they sent me replacements assemblies around $80 a piece, but they finally sent to me free of charge. They claimed I failed to keep tires inflated. I am calling BS, excuse my "french", but what I believe happened is the tire valve stems or the tube itsself develpoed a hole which in turn leaked out all the air and caused rubber to detatch from stem. Cheap chinese rubber, if you ask me. It seems to be ok, other than that, except theres no way to disengage tines, which is dangerous and a potential lawsuit waiting to happen against company. Just be careful, Sir.
I bought one of these from home depot for $160 with a 10% off coupon and they sent me two. Cant complain they are great tillers so far.
Yeah, I got mine on that clearance deal too. Great buy!
There are quite a few new ones on FBM selling in the $400 range, so I'm guessing these were purchased at the $160 deal you got. Man that was a heck of a price, but I wasn't looking for one at the time. There are a bunch of brands that are identical to this Champion design but with different engine brands (and unit stickers). I'm thinking of stepping up and paying more to get a higher quality unit either Yardmax or the Troy Bilt Mustang.
@@jordanblair5410 The Yardmax/Troy Bilt Mustang are of the same design. I had one built exactly the same but it was made by Weed Eater back in 1995. It just got worn out from 28 years of use and needed replaced. I liked that tiller as well but it did break the drive chain and the shifter on it is really janky. But it uses a regular V Belt and the Champion style tillers use 2 serpentine belts. I cant say yet which style is better but the Yardmax/weed eater/mustang builds were very easy on belts. I have only used the Champion a few times but i think i prefer it over my old weed eater. One thing i don't like about the champion is the handlebars seems cheap. I prefer the yardmax/Mustang drive engagement bar. You can stand off the the side of the machine on either side so you are not walking where to just tilled. You can not do that with the Champion.
Also all of these machines use Honda clone engines made in China now. They are good engines but even the Briggs and Stratton branded engines are chinese honda clones.
Just a quick tip with these, make sure the tyres are at the specified psi, if they are low the tyre and tube can slip on the rim and cut off the valve stem. I made that error once 😂, but I won’t make it again
Thanks for the heads up! I’ll keep an eye on that.
What is that tool you are using?
still pissed at home depot online for selling me one and then after weeks deciding they had over sold and i was the lucky one to not get one. still see them popping up on marketplace for 200 bucks more or double what they were going for and ppl saying they have 5-12 of them to sell.
How much oil?
If I remember right it took about a quart.
Gear oil?
Yeah, it comes with gear oil in it, just no engine oil.
the gear box uses grease but you can top it off with 140 weight gear oil. I think if i ever replace the grease in mine i will use John Deere corn head grease. It's thick like grease but still thin enough to flow like oil.
I'm never buying anything that goes less then 5mph with air tires ever again.
