How difficult is this tiller to start?

It's an electrical start - you need an extension cord for power, press and hold the button while lifting the handle bar. Very easy!! I love this machine - just finished using mine as a matter of fact

It is very easy. Plug it in, push the button on the right and pull up lever and should start right away.

It has the power too, but if they are long vines, they probably will get wrapped up in the tillers a bit. It would work if you have time most likely though.

YES! I love mine. It is easy to use and quick to set up. I use mine to till small areas when I'm ready to re-plant. I have a big garden area and use a big gas tiller to till the whole thing in the spring, but when I want to till a small area to get early plants in I use this tiller. It will do a great job for you.

This has happened to me occasionally. I have unfastened the tiller from the drive unit. Then pushed it back into the drive unit interface while rotating it back and forth about 1/2 either way. I did this to try to seat the square end of the tiller's cable into the socket of the drive unit. It ran well after that. This is the only problem I've had with this tiller.

I doubt it, it is not a reliable tiller, I am on my 3 rd. tiller in about 2 years, all have been replaced under warranty, I requested a money refund but they sent back a tiller, one that was sent back to me was a refurbished one, that lasted 20 minutes, I have soft garden dirt.

Minor assembly required. You just have to attact the handle to the body of the tiller. Not very difficult and instructions are provided

This is not a heavy duty tiller, not a "breaking ground" tiller so it will depend in large part on the type of soil the grass is growing in. With hard-packed clay? No it will not work. But if the soil is already relatively loose then it will work fairly well but it will be hard work for the tiller. This tiller's primary use is for weeding and tilling already broken ground.

It is not difficult at all. Very easy. Lotta 'turning' involved because of the screw type lift assembly; but does turn very easy. Would not be worth it to invest the extra money in a hydraulic system, in my opinion.

This tiller comes on a shipping crate surrounded by a cardboard box. The tiller doesn't come fully assembled, but there isn't much assembly to do. The main shaft/handle that extends out from the tiller's lower half has to be connected to the lower part of the tiller (where the engine is) with a couple of bolts. Aside from that, there might be a few bolts to tighten on the upper part of the handle. That's about it.

The blades go down about 4 inches. You'd have to move the dirt you tilled, then till some more to go deeper. I think it was worth the money for me for everyday planting, and maintaining flower beds. If you have a big vegetable garden, you may need something bigger

I would really like to know this as well since I'll order the cord with the tiller. Thanks.

I bought a 100 foot cord and the tiller works well for me. I like this machine as it is comparatively light and I have quite small vegetable beds.

To start tiller all you have to do after plugging unit in is press button while pulling trigger toward handle. To stop, just release trigger.

Not difficult at all. As the manufacturer recommends, you may want to spray some light oil on the threads first.

Not overly difficult. An extra pair of hands with the heavy work is helpful. One to two hours depending on your having everything ready to go and familiarizing yourself with all the parts before starting.

Do an online search. I seems to be that before I bought it, I found there were some interchangeable parts with another little tiller -- maybe a Craftsman? I don't have time to look for you, now; but if you find it, I would be interested too.

Well, no, but assembly is minimal and simple. We just had to snap the handles on, which was easy, and throttle cable. Note; you may want to get lock washers, our knobs kept vibrating off. And we had to put the blades on, which was o.k. because you turn them one way for cultivating and the other way for tilling. Sears used to sell these...if you buy it at Sears they will be assembled (at least they were at our Sears before it shut down). But if you are considering purchasing this unit, I don't recommend it. I would buy something else.
