good little tiller, 07/11/2009
By WorkTilWeDrop, North Little Rock, AR
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

We have used this machine to till small sections of the yard, prepping for sod replacements. It's great for what we need-tilling up small areas.

Very handy machine, 06/21/2009
By NDGardener, Bismarck, ND
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This tiller is very handy in the garden. It's small enough to get between the rows to make easy work of weeding. It has plenty of power to till even hard ground.

Light weight and does the job, 06/06/2009

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This little machine is light weight but boy does it do the job. Even my 9 year old son had no problem tilling up the soil with it. Better then I thought it would be. Glad I bought it.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

Great little machine, only beef is it requires a lot of restarts, especially when chipping areas with lots of roots. At $400 less than the big boys it is really worth it's weight.

Great for the backyard gardener, 05/03/2009
By hollydaze, Colorado
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

The cultivator was very helpful when I wanted to till up an area in the backyard for my vegetable garden. It did the job and worked even in clay soils. Not for doing a large job like laying sod, but worked perfect for my 30x15 garden!

By marmon, Lehighton PA
Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

The item works well, turns up even hard ground. Takes a bit, but works well.
Very hard starting when cold.
Starts OK when warmed up, and after use.

Review 10 for Yard Machines Gas Cultivator

small but powerful, 03/19/2009
By rickandgabi, West Tx.
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

It was a bit smaller than what we expected and if we had a bigger yard or more area to cultivate, this wouldn't work. Since we only needed smaller areas turned, however, this works very well. It bucked a bit when we hit harder areas and had a hard time cutting through the ever-present coleche deposits but with a bit of patience, it did the job we needed it to do. If you're planning on turning large areas or turning more than a foot or so deep, this isn't the tiller for you. Other than that, it's a good value.

Great Value For The Money, 08/13/2008
By Retiredfloridian, Central Wisconsin
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I tried this product by using my neighbors which is identical. Just what I expected. Lightweight and performs well in our sandy soil. Would not recommend for first time breaking of hard clay soils. Extremely hard starting, so is my neighbors. Had to use starting fluid every time it was started cold. I'd buy it again.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This little machine has done nothing but impress me with it's ability to get the job done. I usually do my gardening with a small farm tractor but this year I made a mistake in the row spaceing and could not get in between the rows after the crop got high, I got this little machine and it just keeps on going. I really like the performance.
