Sun Joe 8-Amp Corded Electric Garden Tiller and Soil Cultivator Machine for Yard, 12-Inch

I purchased the tiller with one task in mind; I planned to till the thirty year old hybrid lawn in my backyard and plant a garden in its place. The cost of the tiller was about the same as the rental of a more substantial tiller. I started with a pass four inches deep. I raked out loose grass and completed another pass. The tiller seemed to hum along just fine without strain or heating up so I decided to go eight inches deep. Eight inches is a little deeper than this tiller is built for but by making repeated passes, side by side, it seemed to be able to make the cut. I felt at the time I was abusing the little tiller but the Sun Joe showed no sign of heating up or slowing down and accomplished the task. Two weeks later I went over the whole garden again - at least eight inches deep. Total run time was over thirty hours. As near as I can tell the tiller shows no sign of wear and runs as well as when new. I cleaned and oiled the blades, folded the handle and set it in a corner of the garden shed.

Any doubts I may have had due to the small size of the tiller evaporated when I plugged in my new best gardening buddy. Instantly my dreams to remove the collection of weeds I erroneously called a lawn became a reality. Due to existing plantings I had to be able to get in between things. Old roots were easily dislodged. This baby sized beast continues to amaze me. Florida is the land of flowers and my Sun Joe tiller is making all my gardening dreams real. As times have changed I am adding edible plants as well. Easy to operate and truly built to last.
