This tiller works great and has plenty of power even through Missouri clay. I finally bought a tiller of my own this season and found this one much more maneuverable then the Cub Cadet I used to borrow. I have a 1000' sqft garden and it was no problem tilling it. Only thing I can find to not give it 5 starts is the lack of neutral for the wheels and they have to remove drive pins for the wheels to move freely. It's not a big deal just pull a couple of pins.
