tillers obviously were not designed to add this 40lb device on. concerned about shortening the tiller life and/or damage. any adverse experiences?

The weight of the rollers rests on the ground. The motor of the tiller works much harder to break up soil then to run the rollers. No problems.

That is a heavy zero , but lots of the weight is to the back also . My scag is 840 lbs. and handles it well . I think if you jack your mower up and put 2 jack stands under for added safety , I think you will be okay.you are only lifting the fringe end.

About as well as can be expected from a tiller. I have a lot of rocks varying from gravel to boulders, and the ground seems to be growing more. I also have the occasional brick and miscellaneous discarded piece of iron. As I am tilling, I keep a shovel, pick, and pry bar handy and pull out anything the tiller bounces off of. Bricks, half bricks, and rocks of about the same size can be picked up and wedged in the tines, and I have had to replace the shear pins on both sides, but I don't see any way another tiller would do any better. Tilling in stoney New England soil is going to be work regardless of which machine you use, but I like this one better than others I have tried.

No, the tiller is best for ground that already been tilled deeply, This tiller does best for moderate garden weeding.

i have not tried the dethatcher on the new mantis tiller yet so unable to answer your question. have use the tiller a few times in garden -small space- and it works well there. sorry i can't be more helpful.

Hello, I have used this tiller with a troy built weed trimmer in my gardens without any stalling. One of the gardens has a sandy soil and enables the tiller to go about three inches deep. The other garden has a clay base soil and tills somewhat harder but will still go about three inches deep. Going through old sod will be difficult due to the grass wrapping surround the tines causing you to have to stop and remove the grass so that the tiller can contact the soil. My advice would be to spray the area with a grass killer and rake the area before tilling. Mike

I only used mine for tilling already planted on soil. I don't think it ws dsigned for heavy duty tilling. It's really a cultivator by definition not a tiller.

according to the manual that came with the tiller you can go to americanlawnmower.com or call 1800 313 5111 to contact the company. Mine is new and as I don't need tines yet I have not tried good luck the tines do seem strong as I hit many rocks and it didn't seem to bend or mare the finish you can tell when it hits something that wont pass thru the tine openings you just have to be aware good luck

No. I still have the factory rake with no added weight. But you could install front spacers only to level it.

Thanks for the info ... Im afraid to contract B&D; as I know they will tell me to bring it in . Fat chance !Its at the optimal height for me now anyway (5? or 3 from top level I believe?) so I might just suck it up and keep this one rather than paying to bring it in or get a replacement. LOVE the mower though and my lone fear of worrying it wouldnt complete my lawn on 1 charge was proven to be not worth worrying about !

I put the seat on a craftsman garden tractor ( actually two of them. It out lasted my first tractor) and due to its universal nature, did not have a problem. However, I would be surprised if you did not have to drill a hole or two in the mounting base or plate on the tractor. Whatever you do I would definately get one even if you have to zip tie it on. It has taken alot of the pain (literally) out of mowing my 3 acres of pasture converted lawn.

RWD You may also have to add a counter weight to the auger tunnel. My John Deere has a weight above the auger that bolts on to balence it,when you put the canopy on this throws the balence way off and you will be lifting the blower up when in use.all I did was add about the same weight to the peice the came with the unit.I had mine tacked weled to that weight. you could just remove it mak the holes drill and reattch it with longer bolts. Mine works real well worth the money. and will keep you a lot warmer Gary

We replaced the carbuerator on our Log Splitter and it runs fine.Don't know what's wrong with your tiller.

Yes, mine came with instructions for assembly and for safely operating the tiller. I've had mine for several years, and would never want to be without it. It's an excellent machine. If you contact the company, I'm sure they will be happy to send you the missing instructions.

I've used one for over 10 years and don't please he's in the just the depth. when I always get it done is just put it back in forth and work on your deph that way.he's not like your normal tiller going up in down long rows. it's fantastic for loosening up ground before you plant things. only complain it can be difficult to start

Some instructions from the manual are wrong. The manual tells you to do something and the diagram showing you how to do it is showing you something different. I was very confused, so I called the help number in the manual, and they confirmed that this was wrong, and told me how to do it correctly. The procedure was actually very simple, and the people helping me were patient and explained clearly how to put it together. It was all done in a few minutes. The tiller works well, I have used it many times, and it is strong and durable. It does a good job.
