have about 20 hrs on it. works great Fall Garden must.

Great little cultivator! Outstanding actually. I had the 13.5 amp version previously and destroyed it in 2 weeks - not because it was no good but because I tortured it in rocky/rooty soil so the gearbox finally gave out from the beatings. But the tines never bent or broke and the motor would stall only if I got a root completely wound around the axle. I don't notice a real difference in the 15 amp version from the 13.5 since I never got it to stall (been treating this one a little nicer). It tears through caked limestone sand and hard clay without problem (but I suggest moistening your caked soils the day before and you'll find this will instantly churn all the way down to the 8-inch depth to make perfect soil). Far far more powerful than a 2-stroke and no mess to deal with. PRO-tip: make sure to drape the power cord over your shoulder when pulling back so you don't accidentally get it caught up in the business end! Very light. Easy to carry. Deceptively capable. Get one... or two.
