Good for soft soils3
I too, bought this for use in hard clayey soil, only to be disappointed. If you try to till more than 2″ deep of hard soil you will have difficulty. Once I learned a technique to using it I was able to go faster, but this is still slow, it only does an area of about 0.25 square foot a time. A 400 sq ft garden 6″ deep would take about 4800 back straining tries. I would not buy one again. Since I have this, I will make use of it yearly to till the softer dirt in my established gardens and flower beds.

I am big and strong, and to insert it into the ground I had to first jump up and down on it. Once it was in the ground I tried to turn the handle to no avail, and I think I actually bent it slightly. As I said, till only a couple inches of hard soil at a time to avoid difficulty.

If you have a large hard area you need to till, use the money to rent a power cultivator instead or just use a shovel. It will be much faster and easier.

So Helpful5
This tool was so easy to use on my HARD ground. It made quick work of the task. I just love it and highly recommend it!

Garden Weasel Digs Through the Garden5
I love the garden weasel. I don’t have to kneel down to turn over my garden before planting. I also use it after the plants are growing to loosen the weeds and easily pick them out.

    Even better than expected!5
    This ended up being a terrific purchase. This tiller is small enough to be manageable (I’m only 5′3″), and it easily dug through our hard Georgia clay that is literally filled with rocks. I can hardly wait to use it again - I highly recommend it.

    The only down-side was the shipping. The company only delivered between 8 and 5 Monday-Friday. We missed the first attempt at shipment, but the driver was kind enough to come back to our house after he finished his route.

    Troy-Bilt Tiller is amazing5
    I am in love with this tiller. The counter-rotating times are a quantum leap forward from the standard. You can literally drink a beer while tilling even in virgin ground!

    Good Machine5
    Fast shipping and easy to assemble. My yard is red clay and this machine tilled my garden area with minimal effort. My wife uses it for all her flower beds and has no problems. Great product for the money
