I purchased this the first week of April 2011. I live in Zone 5, central Illinois. This is only my second year vegetable gardening, but I loved it so much, I am excited to do it every year now! I wanted my own tiller for weed control as well as prep in the spring. I just assembled this on 4/9/11. It took me, alone, 20 minutes tops to do it. SIMPLE assembly, hallelujah! You only need a Philips and even then, only 4 screws to tighten with that, and 4 wing nut and bolts you tighten by hand. Solid metal body, nice looking tines. I will use it within the next few days and then update this review on it's performance. I just wanted to get another positive review on for this because the price is amazing...cheapest out there and it has more amps and till span. Looks great so far. My only concern is that the tines are only removable by unscrewing them...or so it appears. That could be problematic if you get a mess of weeds in there, but I have a feeling this little devil with make quick work of the ground and I won't need to stop and yank things out. I will update soon!
