Really great customer service and great little tiller

Great customer service. I ordered this tiller and received it within 4 days. Assembly was quick and easy. Being self confident I turned it on it's side and filled the oil chamber. I took it outside to crank and it wouldn't start. I was very disappointed and figured I had just been ripped off on another cheap piece of Chinese junk. I called customer service and the man I talked to was extremely polite, and pointed out that it is important not to put too much oil in this tiller. 2.5 ounces is the proper oil level. Had I took the time to read the instructions I would have seen this. I asked if I could just pour out the oil and start over, he advised me to not do this. He explained he would send me another tiller right away. I received the new tiller within 3 days, followed the instructions on adding oil and it cranked on the fist pull every time I started it. This little tiller is a beast, it will till with so little effort. Within 45 minutes I had tilled up a new garden plot that is 20'x30'. It would have taken me hours with a shovel or fork. The new tiller came with a shipping return sticker and It was easy packing away the first tiller into the box of the new one. UPS picked it up and returned it for free. I never had to call Amazon at all. Garden Trax customer service 800# was all it took to solve the problem fast and free. Great product and really great customer service.

I love this machine

I love this machine. AT first I could not start it and while trying I was pulled off balance and hit concrete. I was very bruised but had my neighbor to come over and look at it and discovered I had put way to much oil in! Once we emptied that, it started with no problem. I have used it several times and am very happy with it! It does a great job for my garden beds and flower beds. I would buy again!

The person at the customer service was great. I have looked at their line and will ...

This little machine will rip up a lawn full of grass not to mention a garden wiith a few weeds. But the most spectacular thing is the company that sells them, "Thunderbayproducts" I called them when I first got the machine for some questions only. Then a year later I called about a throttle cable I broke, I was ready to pay and they sent it to me free. The person at the customer service was great. I have looked at their line and will purchase from there if I can for anything I should need. Bob Morlock Washington NC

Awesome little cultivator/tiller

Awesome little cultivator/tiller! It starts easy and it's lightweight and powerful. Perfect for a small garden or flowerbeds. It's even handy for a large garden for cultivating and weeding between rows. You can buy with confidence from Thunder Bay Outdoor Products as their customer service is excellent.

Great tiller AND customer service!

I ordered this item mainly because of the good reviews for the tiller itself, but was put at ease by the reviews of the customer service, as well. I didn't think I'd have to find out first hand about the customer service but my luck ...I'm "that guy"...the one that gets the defective unit. Sure enough, the first time I poured gas into the tank, it started dribbling out the bottom from a bad "seam". I called customer service and crossed my fingers. They were very friendly and personable, but to my initial dismay only offered to send out a replacement tank...expecting me to install it myself! I'm pretty handy and wouldn't really have a problem trying to do it, but after hearing the reviews where they promptly sent out a whole new tiller (even when it was the customer's fault for over filling the oil, for example), and considering I had the tiller all of a couple hours before discovering the defect, I felt like that they should've sent out a new tiller. To his credit, the man on the phone (I got the impression he's the owner) changed his answer before I could argue. He said "I don't want to delay your planting any more than I have to." He sent out a new tiller with a shipping label for the old one to send back. That's what I have to say about the customer service (besides 'thank you and sorry for the delay in writing my review'). As for the machine: one of the best I've ever used in the last 30 years. A real Tasmanian Devil chewing up sod, dirt...whatever, but small and lightweight. Controls in the right place, easy to assemble. Only thing is that it would be a little more stable with one of those "depth/drag bars in the back, and the spark plug's impossible to find, but I love this little beast.

Updated.

I almost busted out loud laughing when I saw how big the box was when I received the Cultivator. Somewhat embaressed to let my neighbors see me with this little toy sized cultivator I headed to the backyard carrying it with one hand. It fired up on the second pull, make sure you have the tiller out of the dirt and tilted back holding the throttle wide open with one hand and pulling on the rope with the other hand. The rope handle, cheap plastic broke about the third time I used this machine. It started smoking badly after about the second tank of gas. I noticed it was getting a lot of oil from the crankcase breather to the carburetor air cleaner. But it was not as bad if I kept it revved up when it started. Keep in mind this is a cultivator, made to CULTIVATE about 4" deep. It works fine for that, but your mileage will vary depending on how you use it and the conditions it works in,. I read the manual thoroughly and could never find a point of lubrication for the geardrive. Unfortunately mine gave up the battle today, the gearbox is worn out so I have to decide what to do with it, I don't know if it will be worth trying to get warranty. UPDATE: I decided to give Thunder Bay Outdoor Products, the dealer, a call to see if they could help me out, left a message and they called back. This is why I read reviews before I buy because I place a lot of emphasis on service, warranty, and parts availability. Sure enough Garden Trax came through without a single problem! They got me up and running as soon as they were able to ship the next day. Their customer satisfaction is a top priority and you the customer can count on it. I couldn't be happier. Thank you very much Garden Trax !!

It can't do a job if it can't start

I purchased one of these and after assembly it would not start. I contacted customer service, the ech could not help me get it started.....so he took the serial number then said they will send me a new one. I got the new one yesterday....assembled it this morning.....followed all the instructions perfectly. Filled with gas and tried to start it six times.......not even a putter? Now waiting for a tech to call me back again. I can't say how it works on my project.......but I can say it don't start. Update, Tech called this morning and we finally got it started. Once started, it performed perfectly. It cut through this adobe clay soil in no time at all.....I had the entire area to be new planter turned over in approximately 45 mins.

then up they popped and started cultivating like crazy. we were concerned when we were thinking ...

my husband put this cultivator together and went out to start cultivating our hard packed clay soil. he started right off with digging down, down. I thought maybe he was trying for china. then up they popped and started cultivating like crazy. we were concerned when we were thinking about ordering it that something that small couldn't possibly go far enough down to plant spring bulbs. amazon put us in touch with the owner. he assured us that it definitely will. he is so right I have to smile when we tip it forward onto it nose because we will not be using it for a while. my eighth grade teacher had a paddle and many of the kids wanted him to use it on them. he would say assume the position and that is what it looks like the cultivator is doing.. we are very pleased with this product and recommend that you buy it. we find the customer service to be great.

What a great little tiller!

I live on North Texas prairie black land that varies between too thick to plow or too thin to drink, depending on rainfall. I took this puppy out on a yard that had been pasture up until nine years ago. I have not attempted to sod or sow grass because of the extreme dryness and heat in the summers. The tiller cranked right up, and I used the first pass to dethatch a track for a row, and two more passes to finish. I am planting a late group of sunflowers, and do not intend to clear outside the tilled rows, since the pasture grass helps hold in the moisture. There was a little bucking, but that diminished after I learned how to handle the machine. Do be careful about the bolts for the handle wanting to loosen up. I had rented a larger Mantis machine last week, before ordering this machine, and must say that the Mantis cannot stay in the ballpark with the Garden Trax for performance, to say nothing about price. I read a lot of the reviews, and thank all the folks who shared their experiences so that I could avoid making too many mistakes. I use ethanol gasoline, but treat it with Lucas gasoline treatment, just as I do for my car, lawnmower and 2 cycle weedeater.
