Greenworks 40V 10" Cordless Tiller / Cultivator, 4.0Ah Battery and Charger Included, Green

I owned a gas tiller for years, but got tired of the headaches related to ethanol gas in simple carbs- it just kills them.So, after much debate, I decided to chance this little machine. MAN what a pleasant surprise! It tills through raw lawn (grass still growing) like butter, and even kicks out rocks etc. just like my 5hp gas one did! Granted, it doesn't till as deep, but that's not a problem- I'm only trying to restart a garden about 8x8, along with cleaning up around some other areas here and there where plants/shrubs have been moved. This machine is so light I can just pick it up and carry it where I want. The tires allow it to roll, but it's quicker to just pick it up! Those same tires also seem to limit the depth of cut a little, but you could easily remove them and get a little deeper- but there's really no need. Just like any tiller will, vines and roots will bind around the tines, but a flat head screwdriver and a couple minutes of poking cures that darn quick & easy. I've owned a LOT of tools over the years, and sometimes one really does impress with its simplicity, usefulness, and ability to do the job. This little beast is one of them- enough so I ordered another for my daughter at her house.

I absolutely love using this cultivator. It is light weight and easy to get started with the push of a button and lift of the lever. I have a bigger garden so I usually get about half way through tilling it before I need to charge the battery. If you are like me I would recommend having two batteries.

Great for smaller garden areas. I use it in my flower garden. Power is good even in hard soil. Since it's battery operated the noise level is very low.

I really love this little tiller! I have owned two gasoline 2-cycle engine small tillers which were great, but when they’re not used a lot they are a maintenance issue. This little tiller really churns the soul and chops it to a fine consistency. The grass really wrapped around the tines, but the design allows for simple removal of the tines without tools, making it easy to clean. The only drawback I have found is that if the tines hit anything that resists at all — even clay dirt — the battery pops out and the tiller stops. But I learned on new, harder soil to raise up the times and gradually dive into it. I did buy an extra battery but so far the battery that comes with it has been enough on a single charge.

Convincing my husband we (he) needed this dream machine was the battle! Once received, powered up and roaring thru the garden, he agreed. Do make note- it is a cultivator, not rototiller so ground cannot be rock hard.

I bought this to make the dirt in my garden plot more workable, after a day for trying to till it up myself with a hand hoe and just about killing myself, I wanted something easier. I looked multiple places online and knew I wanted a battery operated one. I didn’t want to deal with a gas engine, and my plot is to far from the house for a corded one. This is the only kind that was listed on multiple site’s top ten that ws battery powered, and I already have a 40v weed whacked from green works, so the battery should be interchangeable. They were, even though my current battery was 2ah and this tiller comes with a 4ah. The 4ah definitely gives more run time, but having the other smaller one is helpful as a backup.This tiller tore through the top layer of clay in my garden like it was sand. It was amazing. Even tore through quite a few raspberry root wanderers that were trying to invade. I am so happy with the amount of work I can get done without breaking my back. I then took it to my landscaping around the house- which previously was all rocks, and the previous owners left a lot of rocks in there to keep the soil loose, and this tiller still tears it up with no problem. Only once did I have a rock get stuck in just the right place and I had to get a rubber mallet to help me get the tines off and knock the rock out. Each time I stop it I’m amazed at how many roots are wrapped around the tines, but the performance doesn’t change so I have no idea they’re even there! It’s perfect size to get in between my existing plants, but still big enough to get a big job done 1000x faster than by hand. It’s great to mix up the old mulch and mix in new compost. You can also hold it in one place for a bit to dig yourself a nice loose hole for planting something. I even tore through some grassy areas to expand one landscaped area into my yard more.Assembly didn’t take long, however I never figured out what the ring pins were for, so those are being kept in the garage. I will say it is pretty heavy, but not when you’re using it, only if you want to pick it straight up out of the dirt instead of rolling it on the wheels, which I’ve had to do a few times to get over the top of some garden edging.Overall I’m extremely happy with the back breaking work I’ve been able to get done solo without the back breaking part! I need a leaf blower this season, and I’ll def get a green works one that’s compatible with my 40v batteries, such a neat system to have!
