Purchased this tiller a month ago and after it got delivered last week and I replaced the parts they forgot I put about 10 hours into using it. I like the engine, it seems to be a typical reliable Honda engine (it's the whole reason I bought it), easy start, good gas consumption, etc.

The problem with it is the belt housing and the drag bar. The belt has no protection from what your tilling up. I've had it come off a couple of times already because a small rock or dirt clod got picked up and forced the belt off the track. The drag bar's angle adjustment bolt holes were slightly out of alignment so I couldn't feed the bolt to set the cotter pin, but, that was fixed with a 3/8th's drill bit.

I can't "personally" say it's a BAD tiller in spite of the aforementioned. It does the job well, just be prepared for some potential problems with the belt.
