Scotts Outdoor Power Tools, Green TC70135S Corded Tiller/Cultivator, 16-Inch, 13.5-Amp

A Phillips-head screwdriver is all you need. The instructions were simple and effective. I used it in a area untilled fro several years. It needed a little horsing but resulted in a very nicely cultivated space. Won’t be like that next time. I can pick it up with the built-in handle.Would recommend

I replaced a gas powered model due to oil, gas, and noise. I did not expect as much power or consistency out of the electric model. And as usual I am absolutely wrong about this electric tiller. Scotts hit the proverbial nail on the head with this design and powerful electric engine. The first time I used the tiller I was almost knocked on my a$$. It was that strong. I did not heed the abundant warnings on holding, preparation, and safety, thinking no electric Tiller is that good, and strong. After I got up and collected my thoughts I had a new and very well deserved respect for Scotts and this Electric tiller. While the noise level is high but not annoyingly so, the tiller is stronger than the craftsman I am replacing. It digs deep and consistent and better than the gas model with none of the mess. I guess if I want to get really picky, the electric cord can be a bit bothersome, but no more than hauling gas and oil around all day. I know there are battery powered units but I wanted to have as much time as possible without have to change batteries or worse, wait till one charges. But even that is getting to be more convenient now. I have no complaints about this machine, that does as much and more than my gas powered one with none of the mess.Scotts did a great job on the design and manufacture of this superb machine.joe

removing grass from blades were sometimes alittle difficult. I often stay away from electric tools due to lack of power, This tiller was so powerful and easy to use for putting in my garden being 68 I am now unable to lift a gas unit but Scotts till we light weight, powerful and easy to operate, assembly was easy, and was able while tilling to reach over 10 inch depth. Best product I ever bought.

Very easy to assemble. Function is great chews up soil well. Need a little beef to learn how to handle so take slow when starting and make sure area in front is clear but beats gas operated tillers. A bit of a nuisance pulling out electric cord but worth it. Would of given 5 stares but 1/2 off for having to hold safety switch and run bail at same time, takes some getting use to. 1/2 star off for tine set up. As said the machine is a beast so it goes thru roots, vines any string or black tarp like melted butter not stalling like gas power. Good yes and No. As a gas stalls early, this will keep eating till you have a heavy jam. Problem: 1 set tines come off with a pit pin easily but second has nut and bolt attachment so you tools are required or you must dig all out with a sharp hook type tool (and gloves). So clear tines early when in rooted congested area. Would buy again? Yes in a heart beat

This little machine packs a powerful punch! When I first got it put together my husband and I both were skeptical as to whether it would do the job. I have to say, I am completely amazed at how easy it is to use. I have a spot I want to use as a garden. It is horrible clay. As the old saying goes, dynamite comes in small packages!!! When it first hits the hard clay it does have a little bit of a bounce to it. But, once it got a good hold on that dirt, it went to town and chewed it up like it was nothing!! I had to tell my brother about this as soon as I got back inside. He is going to order one too.

I’m told by the person who it was for that the fold down wheels are nice and work well. It’s powerful and does what needs to be done. Was not difficult for an experienced mechanical person to assemble.

This electric tiller works better than I expected. It will dig and turn dirt over, blend in mulch, and prepare soil for gardens or lawn planting. it is easier to use than a gasoline tiller, starts every time! It has enough power for even clay, poor soil. I do not know how it will hold up for large projects. You do need a cord. I use a 12 gauge cord so that it will handle the amps required, without overheating the motor. For long runs, a 10 amp cord is recommended.

This is not a replacement for a serious tiller needed for large jobs and tough soil, but for small home gardens you can use this to turn a yard that is almost all clay into plantable soil. It will be slow and difficult, but possible. In terms of power and durability, you can dig up lots of stones the size of a softball without much of an issue, bit also not without bending the tines a bit. You will also want thread locker and make sure every bolt is firmly secure before you use it. The one for the wheel bar came out so I need to get a new nut for it. I wish they used locking nuts on it, but for the price I have no complaints.If your yard is all clay and stones like mine, I'd say rent a rear tiller from a hardware store and go to town on your yard, and then buy something like this one to maintain it and retill it each year.
