I have a Honda Mini tiller that I got at Home Depot about 4 or 5 years ago. It has been great.
My only problem is (on mine, anyway) the oil dip stick either came broke off short, or was designed too short, so one time I over-filled it, and when it started BLACK SMOKE came out like crazy, and oil came out everywhere. I thought I had RUINED it. But the local small engine experts cleaned it up, put in a new spark plug and it runs great.
It does have a tendency for witch grass to wrap around the shaft that the tines are mounted on. I took a extra big fork and bent the tines down like a claw which I could use to pull out the grass. But if I need to remove the tines, they come off fairly easy by just removing a big spring clip.
good luck all,
Richard
