The storage space is always the limited factor for me on this stuff. Did it with a gas pressure washer when Costco had a stupid cheap deal on some clearance model, but my little electric Ryobi sits on a shelf tucked away and I would rather have a table saw in the space I think.

Thank you for letting me know about this sore dick deal. Ordered one now. Looks like a knockoff honda engine, should be easy to maintain.

Which one? The champion tillers have more stars, so I guess I'll go for those.
Looks like Home Depot. They have these “Deal of the Day” sales online that change every 24hrs and they have stupid cheap sales from time to time. Those tillers are a steal though, they’re normally not $500 off a $650 tiller. Probably trying to clear out some stuff at the end of summer so they can bring in the snow blowers and Xmas trees.
They change the deals like 4am daily, I take a look at it while I’m on the shitter some morning. Like once a week they will have a bunch of power tool kits, once every two weeks or so there’s automotive tools or outdoor power equipment, sometimes it’s like 100 different items on sale. The rest of the days are like lighting and flooring and ring doorbells. If you see a really good deal, jump on it because sometimes the big savings items are gone by like 10am.

I got the meme force because it has reverse.
Have a champion generator and the company is fairly responsive when you need warranty or parts for them. It's a good choice anon.
[...] >Get a corded electric one for half the price.
I have the sunjoe one, they are completely different tools anon. The gas one has 3x the power. But the electric one fits in raised beds.
>picrel, you can turn them into poorgay tractors, these things are all over eastern europe and asia, they were popular in US too, up until end of ww2
I can’t imagine the corded electric one even being heavy enough to dig in for real work.

I think it weighs appropriate to it's power, if it bit in more it would start stalling out. Talking about unfricking compacted soil. It does quick work of garden beds that are in regular use.

I'm willing to bet the entire gearbox is a plastic housed planetary gear that shatters on it's first big rock.

The bottom of the electric one looks the same as the shitty ones that attach to string trimmer motors. That begin said, I used the sun joe for 3 seasons, and cryobi one that attaches to the trimmer end didn't last me a day before it chewed the gear and got returned to HD. I think I got my moneys worth from the sun joe.

I bought the Champion with a 10% discount code for $161. All 3 of these tillers are built with the same belt drive. They probably all rolled out of the same chinese factory. They all have Chinese honda clone engines. Pick your favorite color and buy it.
Champion is just a rebrand for US, they have some standard chink name originally. I think with the marketing effort of the importer, actually supporting their product and having non moronic name, we started seeing it as an actual brand. The meme force one just sounds dumb and won't catch on because of that.
Why are you tilling? There are better ways
About an acre worth of garden. Better ways for $200?
Always use ethanol freee gas in all engines on your property that aren’t cars. Also seafoam is man’s best friend
I use regular gas in steel cans, as HDPE allows moisture ingress thru osmosis. So far only had an issue when I left it the gas in a generator with a steel tank and it rusted out the chain retaining the cap, rust ended up in the carb. New carb was $20, and I pumped the gas thru a tractor filter, it's good to go now.

The sunjoe one in the pic here is what I have. Works great with zero maintenance.

Imagine not knowing chink carbs are $10-$25 and just replacing them if they clog.
Imagine not knowing that you can store e10 gas in steel jerry cans for years without absorbing water because they are non porous
Imagine not knowing you can throw a ~50 micron inline filter on your fuel line >git good >stop embarrassing yourself
Anon, tilt the engine somewhere between 45-90 degrees forward for a few s and then try starting it. It's a common thing with small engines.
Also buy this deal because it's a steal.

depending on how much you have to till you can always just get a smaller electric one, the one my dad has for his garden is like the size of a lawn trimmer and works well enough
Just so you know , bigger ones of these are flooding the market in areas where there is a lot of small scale organic farming. Turns out tilling every year is a terrible idea.
Google "no till farming" or watch this Hollywood homosexual tell you how to farm.
No till is a meme, it's just more efficient tilling because you till just the furrow. And then again you need to do a broad till once ruts develop.
Unless you have the tilling planter thing no tillers use, you can just leave couple of tines on the regular tiller at whatever width your rows are supposed to be. Or even use a lawn edger.
Anyway, my area is 95% ranching, so tillers on secondary market are rare.
If it costs 100 a day to rent buy it.
If it costs 25 a day(x doubt) rent it.
Keep in mind the space cost for you storing it.

do it, just remember to run the carb dry after your done using it for long periods of time
or use the no ethanol gas

They're cheaper too, I'd go for that. Is that Tractor Supply?

My current tiller, I have to pour gas under the spark plug to start it, so I'll pick one up.
