And if youre breaking new ground, to do it with the slow setting and do it in layers of 2 inches. They clearly say this isnt something meant for ripping up rock piles
Sorry for any confusion. It was a short experience because it was cold as hell and the camera person quit on me. As to the tiller, it did exactly what I wanted it to do and that was to break up a layer of packed, saturated clay that I needed to remove by hand.
I've got one and it works fantastically, better the 18v version, and although more expensive the 36v Expand It version, is still good value as it comes with a batter and charger.
@@derek4463 In the U.S. we call it 40v. The other side of the pond calls it 36v. Ryobi calls the smaller batteries 18v, and the bigger batteries have exactly twice as many cells in series. To be consistent either the smaller should be 20v or the larger should be 36v.
Standard (worldwide) cell voltage is 1.5v. Therefore a 18v battery has 12x1.5v cells. Double this for a 36v battery. How many 1.5v cells do you think are in a U.S. 20v battery?

I just bought one to tear up my yard that is crappy and can’t grow anything except weeds here in Florida… no rocks… we’ll see how it goes as soon as the rain quits! I’m hoping for better results in dirt. My plan is to put in artificial grass and I thought this would be a cheaper alternative to what someone quoted me to do the work.
You should try to fertilize the soil so it has a reasonable PH balance. After you till the lawn, go to a lawn care care store and buy some 24-0-11 granular fertilizer and spread it everywhere. Then try putting sod down in an area, water the sod every day for at least 2 weeks so it can get rooted in the ground and get its own water from the soil, then see how it goes. I always try to advise against the artificial grass, you're basically covering your lawn in plastic that will eventually break down from the strong sun in Florida, the rain will wash the microplastics away and cause future problems in the environment.
Look up Soil Works LLC, GCI Turf, LawnCareNut If you till it up, get a soil test kit, then feed it. You’ll be fine. Weeds tend to grow in calcium and magnesium deficient soil It needs more than that too
That just has a weak motor in it. They don’t build these that well. Although gas engines struggle with heavy loads and electric motors will actually produce more torque. Look at how slow it speeds up. The motor is under sized.
Wrong! We feed our soil humic, magnesium, calcium and sea kelp. Keeps it from bonding like this. Get an aggravator by hand… anything a 4 tine pitch fork is good. If not, water it down first. Gas and battery can break this apart providing the operator knows what they are doing like not letting it walk. Anyone get the same amount of material off of wood if you let the sander walk the surface? What if you use a planner, put the board in backwards and see what it does. Use your tools right or don’t at all is what we tell our kids
Ugh. Sad. I have a plug in 16" sun joe that works pretty good and we don't have clay, so it'll do a few flower beds and my 20' garden in like 15 minutes which is all I need. Clay like that, probably go gas powered.
Yeah, it was super packed wet clay in late March, very cement like. It did break the stuff up enough so that I could remove it which was all that I wanted.
Then you just start doing all of your small engine shopping outside of Kalifornia. I’m not remotely impressed by any of the battery powered yard equipment. None of it works as hard or lasts as long as its gas counterparts.
This is why I hate consumer grade cordless tools. Undersized motors and batteries, low quality components and a cheap plastic shell. It a real tool. You can have electric cordless tools like a tiller. They just don’t make them. They want tools that break right out of warranty that barely work.

If you till it up, get a soil test kit, then feed it. You’ll be fine. Weeds tend to grow in calcium and magnesium deficient soil
It needs more than that too
It's set to the wrong speed. Needs to be set to low speed for proper torque. This is the mode for loose soil.
Even gas powered variants of this lil tiller would struggle in that ground. You’d have to soak the ground first
That just has a weak motor in it. They don’t build these that well. Although gas engines struggle with heavy loads and electric motors will actually produce more torque. Look at how slow it speeds up. The motor is under sized.

Its easier on your equipment, if you had watered a day or two prior to tilling.
Maybe having some real metal augers and not plastic ones would help too
The tines are actually a nice grade metal.
You don’t till wet soil.

There is no way possible for battery power to do the job without the tiller being ginormous.
The Voltage X Current will tell you it would never have the power.
Some things just weren't meant to run on battery. God helps us the day tractors go electric haha
You should have bought the real tiller , as you can add weight to it.
