  • Gets the job done
Style: 209 cc
Starts on the first or second pull of the rope. Everything one could expect for a rear tine tiller Very powerful; ease of operation. I especially like the forward and reverse operation without tine rotation or just put it in neutral and easily move it around. This tiller changes tune and gets down to business when the ground is hard .Best tilling machine i have ever owned. ... show more

  • A Very Good Value
Style: 209 cc
Starts with one pull of the rope and runs smoothly. The controls are easy to use. The tines rotate forward and backwards, with the direction easily reversed. It plows deeply and turns the soil over completely. It has also weeded well between growing rows. It performs exactly as advertised. The only complaint I have is a tilt cut-off safety feature--if the machine tilts in a furrow (this occurs when going over rough ground still furrowed from last season) it will cut off. You then have to lug it onto level ground for an easy restart. This is a small complaint. It is a very good value for the money. Alan Ferguson ... show more

Style: 209 cc
My YT4565 was a non-starter out of the box. When I pulled the rope it wouldn't even sputter. I thought I would have to return it, and was pretty disappointed. But, since I didn't want to box it back up, I followed a tutorial on FamilyHandyman-com called 'Small Engine Start Up Tips'. My neighbor was going to come over and look at it so I thought I'd give it the old college try at doing my best to start it on my own, before he got there, that way I could really utilize his expertise instead of just get basics. After doing several of the Family Handyman steps trying to figure it out, it finally fired. I think when it fired I had taken off the black plastic thing that is under the air filter. This seems to be a sort of S-shaped 'intake' for the carb. Once as per the tutorial I had sprayed WD-40 into the carb, at some point it finally fired. If you have a complete non-starter you can put WD-40 in where the spark plug goes, and it should fire. This will tell you that your plug is good, and also that the flywheel system (sorry, not too smart on small engines but am learning) is properly generating a spark. The shifter is hit and miss. You have to stay patient. Keep trying, but don't try to force it or you might break it. It's like sometimes where you want to go on the shifter isn't 'cleared' by the transmission until after several tries. Then suddenly there will be an internal thunk and it will suddenly go. I think most of the issues with it are due to the transmission itself, not the shifter design. Sometimes you can jump from Forward in Transport mode, clear over to Forward Rotating Tines on Till mode. This is the entire length of the gear options, but sometimes that is what you are wanting to do, so if you do it by luck, so be it. XD ha ha Sometimes if I was in Neutral in Transport mode, it was hard to get to Forward which is just one slot to the left. Sometimes I could do it by hitting the shifter handle slightly with the palm of my hand. But sometimes I'd jump past it. The point is to don't lose your temper and keep trying. It may take several tries but eventually you'll get to the gear you want. That said, the transmission itself seems pretty capable. And as some others have posted, *slightly* lifting the clutch (the 'drive bar' is what I'd call it) towards the handle sometimes helps it to shift. Reverse is great, I accidentally nosed the tiller into a 3 foot deep ditch at the edge of the garden while tilling, and in Reverse Transport mode it moved back up and out of it just fine. Tilling is great also. Not too hard to maneuver. You just lift up the rear tines to do a 180. You don't even need to stop them rotating if you don't want to. I am happy with this purchase. The Craftsman over at Lowe's for $300 more didn't even have forward-rotating tines as an option, which you really need if you want to till in leaves. In my view the tricky shifting is the price you pay for an otherwise solid machine, at a great price. (I got it for $560 with free shipping.) Have noticed the price has jumped considerably on here in the past few weeks, I assume due to Amazon themselves no longer selling it. (Update 2019-10-27, so about my fourth use of the tiller): Recently had the tiller stop working... it was making a squeal and the engine would rev way down, if I tried to pull the clutch lever up to the handle to get it going--it wouldn't move or do anything at all except quit. Turned out the belt was a bit loose, you tighten it by turning the sleeve up where the cable attaches to the clutch lever. You loosen the nut a little away from the sleeve, then turn the sleeve (so you seem to be tightening the individual strands of the cable even more) 'til it gets up to where the nut is. And now it works again... I love this tiller!!! ... show more

  • Price for POWER
Style: 209 cc
I'll just start off by saying that I live in Colorado where my soil is not necessarily the best - more like rock/sand/clay. I wanted to work on my yard sections at a time without the worry and rush of renting a piece of equipment. Got to say, setup was easy. Solid unit of destruction - fluffed my dirt up 6.5" no problem. The only thing I had a problem with at times are the concrete chunks that the new construction trades left behind in my ground. The tiller obviously found those chunks - it's not meant to break through those pieces like a hydraulic tiller can - but listen - all you do is put the tiller in it's opposite direction of what you were doing and it will just spit the concrete back out and you can throw it in a pile. Don't keep going until you choke the tiller out, that's not smart with any mechanical piece of equipment. If you want to tear through hard ground and start a new lawn like I did - you need a rear tine tiller. Live in hard soil environment? You need a rear tine tiller. Briggs motor - as much steel as possible - 2 year warranty on all parts. I'm happy. You will be too! ... show more

It has plenty of power but not much of a machine to go with it.Flimsey sheet metal and the deph gauge is about as ridged as chewed bubble gum.The shifter was not machined well and is hard to get in and out of gear.It stars and runs great.If you are working in sifted dirt you will probably be alright but if you have resl wotk to be done I think you would be in for a dissapointmentp ... show more
