Strengths Honda engine starts well. Lots of power. Digs in well
Weaknesses tines need to be stronger. Bent first time within an hour (replace at $55). Second time a few hours later.
says on sticker "one hand operation" ... maybe if you are the encredible hulk
Overall if not for the weak tines I am pleased.

Strengths easy to start and lots of power the tines work in reverse witch helps out a lot in hard soil
Weaknesses uses cheap gears and very hard to work on I hit a rock with it and it broke 4 gears in the gear box right away Rocks are found in most tilling area's and shouldn't have effected it in this way
Overall If the gears were made out of steal it could stand more of a shock it would be a great machine just treat it like its very breakable

Strengths READ MY COMMENTS BELOW IN ANOTHER POST. ALSO I PULLED THE THOTTLE BACK ABOUT 3/4 AND IT HELPED WITH VIBRATION. PLENTY PLENTY OF POWER EVEN AT THAT SETTING. ALSO LOOSED UP THE BOLTS ON THE COVER AND REALIGNED THE COVER THEN TIGHED IT UP. THAT ALSO HELPED WITH VIBRATION.
Weaknesses STILL TOUGH TO TURN WITH TILLING. NOT A GOOD FIT FOR A SMALL GARDEN. A LITTLE TOO BIG. SHIFTING IS REALLY A PAIN. YOU HAVE TO GET IN THE SWEET SPOT OTHERWISE IT WILL SOUND JUST LIKE WHEN YOU TRY TO SHIFT GEARS IN A MANUEL TRANSMISSION ON A VEHICLE WHEN YOU DO NOT PUSH THE CLUTCH IN.
Overall FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE BOLTS BREAKING BY REPLACING THE GRADE ONE BOLTS WITH GRADE 8 BOLTS. NO MORE PROBLEMS THERE. I WILL KEEP IT NOW. I COMPARED IT TO THE HUSQVARNA. IT IS REALLY FAR SUPERIOR AND THE TROY BILTS DONT EVEN COMPARE PERIOD. RUNNING THE TINES BACKWARDS WHILE THE WHEELS PULL FORWARD HELPS WITH HANDLING AND DOES NOT AFFECT TILLING BECAUSE IT SLOWS IT DOWN.

Strengths Super strong digger!Pull start my 90 year old granny could start with just one pull. Everything is sturdy and tight.Handlebar comfy to use.Very easy to use,even in ozarks dirt/rocks.With a Honda motor and some common since this tiller will last for years.
Weaknesses Heavy,but its sturdy.I'd like to see the throttle on the handlebar instead of the motor-save fuel turning around,etc.
Overall Great tiller,strong honda power,ergonomically comfortable,easy to use. Buy from a Cub Cadet dealer for best info on this machine. I did not.

Strengths IT IS STRONG. I THINK YOU COULD TIL UP A PARKING LOT OR DIG TO CHINA. HONDA MOTOR IS POWERFUL...ALMOST TO POWERFUL
Weaknesses AXLE BOLTS ON WHEELS WILL SNAP RIGHT OFF UNDER VERY LITTLE STRESS. EXTREMELY HARD TO CHANGE GEARS. HARD TO TURN. NOT BALANCED. LOTS OF VIBRATION.
Overall I THINK I WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK. MAY GET A MERRY TILLER OR HUSQVARNA.
