Take the wheels off and throw them away. Run the tiller backwards pulling it towards you. Don't baby it, it won't break. I've used this a lot it's great if used properly.
I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ru-vid.comUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
I've had this about four months and have found it to be an aggressive and powerful rig. ru-vid.comUgkxjo0FLo5z3Y_qUcT3vSlOqpMaMdFjvsXa I've used several others in the past and the Sun Joe surpasses these, easily. I note that several people have commented that it bounces on rocky and compacted soil. I believe that would be the case with all tillers - the ground does need to be "broken", either with a larger tractor type unit or with a shovel, and rocks need to be removed. I'm living on a Pike silt loam here in the midwest and the Sun Joe turns my garden to bug dust in two quick passes. I use a technique where I do a short 2 foot run then pull it back and let it go over it again.

This guy is useless. Hes trying to till big space. NO NO Wrong video for this guy. These are for small and close gardens , yards. For this they are perfect. He is a crybaby. Good grief.
I love my Echo tc-210 Killer machine. tougher than a bag of hammers. I stored it down cellar for 2 years and it started right up when I gave it just a few yanks. Its good. Im a heavy duty gardener in Maine , and I approve of this message.
Works good while it lasted. After 2 hours of running it the Motor sounded funny and 30mins later it died, drained the oil and it looked like a Metallic Silver Cup of OJ. Engine damaged no doubt.
Que basura esa poulan, ni en este vídeo la pude escuchar regulando, horribles ya sean amarillas poulan pro como craftman todas iguales una estafa al consumidor.
I bought a Mantis about ten years ago and the carb and fuel system are shit, Already replaced original carb once , two months in same problems. Had a friend buy one & same problems. Also the handle kill switch is placed where you're continuously killing the damn thing during throttle & start operation . You will spend more time working on this POS than you will gardening.Should come w/warning (disposable after 1st season ) I'm an engineering tech by trade and work on all kinds of various problematic equipment also have been through small engine repair/rebuild classes so I'm not a stranger to troubleshooting small engines and adjusting carbs. My advice ,pay $50 to $100 bucks more and buy Stihl have had Stihl equipment for 20-years that still fire 1st pull !
poulan and husqvarna same saw interchangeable parts , the stihl was tuned when you bought it to be fair others should have been tuned as well , echo easiest to start and lightest by far both of which mean alot if you going to use all day a well tuned echo will shame the others if people out there dont know shindaiwa chainsaws made by echo my old shindaiwa 360 has shamed many stihls over the years and it dont need the picco micro chain to feel like it has power
*This is a great sawSnapper It's powerful,🌼 **allabout.wiki/Wolf** easy to use, and has a lot of great features that make it safer for a homeowner to use, such as the compression release, chain brake, and choke that sets the throttle to idle up when starting. The chain is easy to adjust. The engine has a lot of horsepower and torque for cutting big sections of wood quickly. You cannot bog this saw down unless it gets pinched. But that's true of nearly every saw.*
I had an older Homelite gifted to me, running condition but that's about all I can say about it. I used it for several years, typical homeowner use, cutting up deadfall limbs and whatnot; it got the job done but definitely struggled with bigger limbs. Eventually I replaced it with a new MS170, and immediately kicked myself for not pulling that trigger sooner. There's just no contest - that old Homelite was JUNK by comparison. Keep your chain sharp and tensioned correctly, mix the gas correctly, fill the oil every time you fill the gas, and you'll have a good strong saw for many, many years.
Gardening is supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable. I couldn't imagine listening to 110 decibels while tilling a field. Why can't they put on a real muffler?
Husky pro saws are a completely different world than the homeowner saws. The pros are impressive and the homeowner versions are hit and miss many times. Poulan is generally a homeowner saw you just throw in the trash when you start having problems with it.
I own a 235 and the only problem I have ever had with it is that it doesn't like to idle, it just quits randomly. Considering that I've literally done ZERO maintenance since buying it around 8 years ago, I think it's done pretty well.
