My husband bought me this Troy-Built 4 cycle Garden Cultivator at Lowes one day when I complained about digging up my veggie garden myself and what a pain it was. This machine was not cheap, but since I know how to garden and love it and will be doing a lot of ground prep in the years to come, well he gave in. On the initial start-up (which my husband did-but was hard for him) it worked fine. Mind you I have owned a much larger tiller in years past so I am no dummy to tillering! But, when he wasn't here I could not get it started! I tried and tried and wound up hurting my hand in the process. The whole pull the rope and hold your foot on it is just not for me or women for the matter. My husband being a man is much more stronger and he even had trouble with it. I can start a lawnmower just fine, but this thing is a lot smaller and it's difficult. I'm not dogging the company name just this particular machine wasn't for ME. We returned it and bought the electric cultivator by Troy-Built-which was a lot cheaper and no gas to mess with.
