[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Remington 9 in. 25cc 2-Cycle Gas Cultivator to review and was very pleasantly surprised upon opening the box. Assemble was quick, instructions easy to follow. I have previously used large tillers which were very unyielding & difficult to control. Our soil is mainly clay with a thin coat of topsoil. We previously built our beds and garden, turning the soil with shovels-extremely backbreaking. The cultivator easily plowed through our finished beds. We added more compost, soil... & it turned the dirt with ease. The job was done quickly. Going on to new beds proved more difficult since the soil is so heavily compacted. Once the machine broke thru the clay, adding compost& soil got easier . It took some time but worked well. Tree roots are a problem and got stuck in the machine but were easily pulled out. I was impressed with the overall power and maneuverability. I would buy this and will recommend it to others. We already have a friends asking to borrow it for the fall planting season.
