Sun Joe Electric Tiller: What gauge cord does it use?

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

Andrew,I'm not sure why it says that but I have a cord running to mine from the 15 amp plug of the generator. My generator is a champion 4000 w. I have also just bought one for my in-laws also. It's well made and alot easier than the splice job I had to do during Sandy.Tim

Standard 3-prong. 120v extension cord. 12awg is the wire gauge and is recomended if you use a 100ft cord, but a lot of the 100 ft cords are only 14 awg or 16. A 14 would do just fine.

One speed, short cord-I use an extension corn. I bought a small dolly so I can roll it around in my airplane hangar. Very pleased with the unit, quiet and puts out a lot of heat.

I changed all my gauges to Sun Pro mechanical, oil and water. The tach and volt gauge are electronic.

Not sure of the gauge, but itis solid copper wire covered in a heavy duty black plastic. We laid 2500 ft, both in the ground, and on over the ground in places we couldn't bury (the woods). We used regular lawn staples, and enclosed about 10 acres with invisible fence brand system. We were very pleased, and 6 months later, no problems!

12 or 14 gauge will be fine. But if the cord is over 20ft, I would use 12 gauge.

I have the same setup with 45 watts of solar panels. I'm using 12 gauge wire, although 10 gauge will fit. No problems with 12 gauge here.

My cord has the following written on it: (UL) E189672 SJT 3X14AWG VW-1 105(degree)C 300V CSA LL213732 SJT 3X14AWG FT-2 105(degree)C 300V DONGU. Not sure what that all means, but it appears to be at least 14 gauge wire capable of handling 300V at 105 degrees Celsius (221 degrees F), however I have heard that the length of the extension cord can affect performance. Therefore, I suggest contacting the manufacturer to see if they offer longer cords, or can suggest where you might be able to get one with the proper specs.

I don't have this model, but I my best guess would be a outdoor rated extension cord.

I don't know gauge, but works nicely for 30 amp service to my living quarter horse trailer.

You need to buy one. I use a 10-foot length, and therefore selected a rubber jacketed 12-3 (12 AWG with 3 copper conductors). Don't use 'zip cord', it is to small in gauge.Green wire goes to ground ("ground symbol" / left)White wire goes to nuetral ("N" / center)Black wire goes to load ("L" / right)Wire the plug in the same way.

I don't have my manual anymore, but another reviewer states, "The Mow Joe 14" has a 12 amp motor. Amazon is bundling it with a 16 gauge extension cord, despite the fact the manual states that for extension cord lengths under 100ft, a 14 gauge cord is required. For lengths of 100ft or more a 12 gauge cord is required (gauges work backward so a smaller gauge is a thicker wire)."So, in that case, it looks like the extension cord you are asking about is the right kind.

Actually, 100' of 12 gauge (OUTDOOR!) extension cord can safely carry 12 A at 120VAC. So if you have a single 75' 12-gauge 3-wire outdoor extension cord (75' is rare in the US), it would handle it, even as it gets older. But for legal (and safety) reasons I have to tell you not to mix two cords together (say, a 50' and a 25'). I actually use a 100' 12-gauge for up to about 15-Amps, but for something that is intermittent - like an electric weed-eater. But I checked the numbers and 12-gauge constant is fine for the 12-Amps that this blower should draw.

Check if it's "14-gauge outdoor extension cord." I just used my outdoor orange generic extension cord, works great, the only challenge with cord is make sure you don't mow the extension cord and be safe. Great electric law mower for people that hate yard work :)

Purchase a heavy duty polarized 100 foot, 14 gauge extension cord...and if you can afford it... get a 50 foot also.... I purchased mine at Ace Hardware... they come in the color red or orange....make sure it is a HD cord and not a typical "light weight" cord... your blower draws lots of amps and you don't want to slow down the electrical engine with a light weight cord....they are not cheap but you will not be disappointed...

Yes, as long as you don't try to go too deep in a single pass. Around 2 to 3 inches in depth at a time would be fine. allow the tiller to work at it's own pace and not force it. A good quality 12 or 14 gauge extension cord would help too.
