Varomorus High Wheel Cultivator, Self Cleaning Steel Single Wheel Hoe, Modular Plow Garden Tool for Gardening

I really like this machine and I want to give it high marks. But it is very hard to change the ground tool as the fit into the square tube is too very tight. Once I got the square peg driven into the square hole there is no way it is coming back out. The good thing is that all of the ground tools perform exactly as they should and will tear up all your weeds with one pass. The bad thing is that I cant change the tool. The good thing is the one of the tools fit on a different wheel hoe cultivator and it works like it should. I may just get a second wheel hoe and not bother to change tools. A very good idea as this cultivator works so well and I am going to want to loan it out to show others how well it works.

This investment is well worth the money!If you can turn a wrench - okay, two wrenches, a 10mm and a 13mm - you can assemble this tool in 30 minutes or less. The instructions, while not a full schematic, give sufficient visual information for you to quickly puzzle out how the pieces should interconnect.I had ZERO need to drill out or otherwise machine any components, nothing took a hammer to "convince" it into place, and the parts are fairly intuitive as far as their relation the whole.I have over an acre of desert property under cultivation and landscaping, which I've been working with a gas powered weed whip and hand hoes and shovels, etc. This tool will replace most of the hoeing and shoveling (and their wasteful reciprocating motion) with faster, more efficient one way motion - virtually 100% of your energy input results in weed cutting.Lightweight, easy to use, well made. I like it.

It must be said up front that the instructions are not helpful. I am immensely handy, have all of the tools, and it took me two hours to put together. The hardware is a bit of a choice since replacing the tension nuts that came with it to locking nuts would have been smart. And I added a bunch of lock washers to the build to keep things from loosening up.The design is all right, the handle not adjustable enough. I am six foot high and the thing seems built for someone taller than me. All the leverage is in the shoulders, not the hips where it might have made more sense.The cutting blade does the job but I had to sharpen the ragged edges down before putting the thing together. It might seem like a person could remove the blade for sharpening, but this is not the truth. It will take some work to remove the blade for sharpening. The secondary cutting blade isn't going to be useful and cannot be swapped out. It looks like it could be, but it cannot be swapped out. Basically the extra blades are a safety concern . . . Sharp edges where they do no good, but do pose a hazard. . . I'll remove them soon.I've only used the thing in one of our long rows, to test the product in our heavy soils. It worked pretty good and I will likely change the way it works so that it will do the job more easily. For a third of the money of a Hoss it is still a worthy contender. But not the sort of thing you should just jump into.Advice:Be handy.Be tall.Buy the locking nuts before building.Sharpen the blade you will use prior to building.Leave the upward facing blade and bracket off. (It should slide in and out, it doesn't. I used a hammer and wish I had not.)

Everything is sturdy and well built. Should last for a long time.I wish the stirrup hoe oscillated to change the cutting angle on the forward and back stroke.

Made of durable metal material and appreciate the weeding attachment. Easy to use especially over slightly moistened, moderately soft soil. Effective weeding removal of small to medium size weeds. Formerly it would take me from 1-1.5 hrs to remove weeds with my regular hand hoe but now the same section requires only 15 minutes via the high wheel cultivator/weed removal tool and less tiring!

Not a good product! Directions for assembly are just a picture with no correlating part list or anything. The nuts are not lock tight so they just came out after a small amount of use! And all of the bolts and nuts are different sizes. I had to find a bolt and match it up with a nut to make it fit! If I could give the product half a star for that reason alone I would!

Took 25 minutes to put it all together could have did it in 20 minutes if one of the bolt holes had been drilled straight through. Had to make one of the holes a little bigger so bolt holes would line up straight through. Picture to show what I am talking about. But other than that I think it is a good product made strong enough. I have a lot of rocks in my garden and both of the v shaped plow points work great.

Added some wing nuts to make change over easier. Only con is the handles are two pieces which is where I can see would be its downfall in the future but when it's new it's a workhorse
