There’s no directions anywhere online or website that tells you how to put in the oil. They assume you know. I just assume you tilt the thing sideways and put in all the oil it came with. Not sure if that’s how it’s suppose to be done.

Once I got this tiller assembled, it performed like a champ. It's heavy-duty but my petite wife can still maneuver it easily. We have some rough virgin ground we are expanding our large garden to and, though we had to work some of it twice both to break up the soil and to blend in peat moss, we were pleased with how it performed. It turns easily and has an easy pull-start cord that doesn't break your arm or wear you out. It starts quickly. Cold, you choke it and pull once and then cut off the choke and pull again, it starts right up. When its been use and gets shut down for a few minutes, it starts on the first try.But the way the tiller arrived from the factory for assembly was disappointing, to say the least. We were two smaller nut-and bolt assemblies short and they sent two larger nut-and-bolt assemblies I didn't need. Unbelievably, I had to use my drill press to enlarge the holes on the left tine assembly where they attached to the tine drive. How can you not get the size of the holes correct for the bolts you send with the tiller?There are four bolts that hold the handlebar mechanism. The instructions assume the bottom portion is partially attached upon arrival with only the adjustable wingnuts necessary to install. That isn't the case. The handlebar mechanism arrives zip-tied to the engine assembly and the instructions don't tell you which bolts are to be used to install it, nor where in the process that is supposed to happen. The instructions also have you attach some parts which later have to be removed in order to install other parts.Overall, we love the tiller but the assembly instructions and process is a pain in the posterior. I wouldn't do it again. I'd go to Home Depot and buy a tiller, even though those would be more expensive, and have the store assemble it for me. It just isn't a good enough tiller to have to relive that nightmare.

Very easy to put together. Took only about an hour. It is light weight so it is easy for me to handle. Haven’t got to use it yet due to so much rain.

I bought this tiller 2 years ago. The first year I used it twice. Ran nice. I will say it was not fun to put together. Took 2 of us all day to figure it out. Last summer I used it twice again. Now this summer I went out to start it and nothing. New gas and the oil and spark plug are good. The only other thing I can think would be bad is the starter switch. So after being used only 4 times, I am very disappointed.

I bought this tiller at the beginning of summer, this year. Got to use it one time before the bolts started falling off of it. After spending quite some time to find them, I replaced them, using Lok-Tite, I continued with the process. 1 hour later, 1 of the bolts sheared off, not to mention the rest of the bolts loosening up constantly. I absolutely would not buy this product, especially from Menards!!!
