Customer Reviews for YARD FORCE 20 in. 208 cc Gas Rear-Tine Tiller

Easy enough to put together, but would run like 2 mins then go dead. We returned it.

We bought this tiller last year, now that exact SKU is discontinued, but this is comparable. It was used approx. one hour to till our garden. Cleaned up, etc and put away inside for winter storage. Took it out this year and does not start. My husband is very good at repairing this type of equipment…l usually not necessary when it’s this new. But, no luck. Avoid and go with a better model- we wasted $600.

Works great in our sandy loam soil

I used it for the first time today. It started up on first pull just like it did after initial put together. It did my old garden pretty effortlessly and the new extension not bad also. BUT the sod from the extension of my garden would get clumped up between the drive and the tines cover making forward motion slow. I would back it up and remove some of the sod. It could use deeper tread tires to dig into the loose dirt better. And my biggest thing that would keep me from buying it again is the handle bars. VERY flimsy. They twist alot trying to keep it plowing straight. I'm glad i purchased an extended warranty because i don't see the handle bars lasting more than 2 yrs. Thus my 3 star rating.

It works. Eugene enjoyed assembling it. Cranks easily. It is designed for big hands. Mine aren't. I used both hands to pull down the forward and it started working soil we haven't gardened in years. Chewed it right up. Then I got to the end of the row. If this thing has a neutral gear to disengage the tines, I haven't found it. I wrestled. Twisted. Turned. It works backwards! I wish it had a plow attachment.I'm 67 and it works.

I used the tiller on very hard dry ground and it took care of the job the first try. I love this new tiller

The tiller did the job nicely, but the handles are thin walled and will bend easily. The drive controls are ridiculously opened up that you’d need big hands to squeeze them down.

Assembly was quite forward and easy. The handle seems a bit cheap and flimsy. We used the tiller for most of an afternoon with no complaints minus the handle. Tiller easily cut through pretty hard and compacted ground consisting of clay soil. Look forward to using this tiller more this spring. Would recommend.

Handle a little flimsy

It was easy to assemble and the B&S engine started on the first pull. My biggest complaint is it is described as having 6 tines, this was listed in several places. There are only 4 tines. The 6 tines is one of the main reasons I bought this tiller over a couple of others as it should cut smother and cleaner not leaving any hard pack in the center.

This tiller is a powerhouse! Assembly was easy after opening the box, took only 10 minutes max. There was a bottle of oil included in the box, nice bonus I didn;t expect. Started on first pull and each time since first use. Controls are easy to use, locations on handles are in good spots. Turned over my garden in no time, plowed through Georgia clay with easy. Have used twice since and loaned to neighbor. All good experience. A+

This tiller was easy to assemble and started up right away. We were pleasantly surprised how easily this tilled through our overgrown garden! Great machine and well worth the price. We would definitely recommend this tiller.
