These are currently on sale on Amazon and elsewhere for $120. I kept checking the eBay listing for an indication it was refurbished, but it appears to be new with a full 2 year warranty.

That is 100% user error. You need to try not having noodle arms, and drag it backwards. I broke up a 20x30 plot of yard that had been graded with about 4-6" of road base. This was in central Texas (no soil harder than CTX IMHO), where we also have clay and limestone to break through as well. I tilled down 18" deep on the high side, and had about 2-3 yards of dirt to move out


But seriously, don't buy this if you think it's going to make things "easy". You still have to put in actual work with it. If you're not tired after using it, you probably didn't need it in the first place.

This tiller is a damn good tiller.
This is a big deal for me. My first Frontpage posting. Glad I could finally give back to this community that has caused me to spend so much money unnecessarily!
I own this. It's way better than should be. Happy with the purchase

Great deal. I've been looking for one of these for the last few months and didn't want to spend over a hundred for it.

Love my Sun Joe tiller. Amongst experiences, used it to till ip hard clay/dirt before digging it out and pouring a concrete pad. Saved a lot of effort.

Do yourself a favor and take this one apart to add gaskets to the motor casing before running it. Mine stopped running because dirt somehow got inside.

While it's apart, lubrication and rotating the inner blades for better aeration wouldn't be a bad idea.

At the bottom of the listing under a condition types tab, it says:

"Thanks for your interest in the Snow Joe Factory Outlet. We offer products in the following conditions:
(Each listing may vary, please check the items details)
Manufacturer refurbished
An item that has been professionally restored to working order by a manufacturer or manufacturer-approved vendor. This means the product has been inspected, cleaned, and repaired to meet manufacturer specifications and is in excellent condition. This item may or may not be in the original packaging. See the seller's listing for full details."

This may be a way to circumvent eBays item condition guidelines, or at least is confusing and misleading. eBay listing says new, then they put this in their own listing template. I'm guessing it is refurbished.

I got one of these last spring to till a Garden and wasn't impressed.
My area is hard impacted red clay soil with loads of crabgrass and the tiller just seemed to want to bounce ontop instead of dig in.
It would probably be fine for smaller areas with looser soil or to amend soil.
