TrimmerPlus GC720 Add-On Cultivator

Good item though requires quite a bit of weight to get it to break through KY soil. I've seen other people add a cinder block to the shaft.

They work well but take A LOT of muscle to use! You better be young, strong and willing to sweat!

Pulled it out of the box to get the garden ready, tines won't spin. Appears to be defective right out of the box. Definitely a huge bummer.

Great add on for the versa tool.Powers through already broken up soil.Doesn't break ground well because of the light weight.It is somewhat hard to control the speed. It goes from running too slow for good results to too fast, which throws the soil around more than I like.I would recommend it to a friend though.

I just finished using my Troy Bilt Cultivator/Tiller and now I can feel good about giving an honest review.I live in Missouri where the ground is very rocky and the soil is a bit on the hard side. I new that when I purchased the unit that I was not buying a industrial type farm unit, so I was not expecting those types of results.I did first turn my soil over by hand at 9" depth( a 11 x 36 foot garden area). This area was a multiple year virgin lawn. I started up my Troy Bilt as per the instructions. Every thing work just as written in the manual. The Cultivator went to work breaking down the large clumps of grass and soil. This was alot of work but once again it cost 99.00 and not 3000.00 dollars so I was anticipating it being a bit harder to do. The unit was awesome and did a great job. Now the the soil is evenly broken I added my multch amd ground prep. And once again I put the unit to work turning in the mulch and compost to ready the ground for an incredible garden.To say the least this unit really was a great buy from Amazon. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to put in a garden or flower bed. But would also say that you have to be realistic about the work. It is a bit on the heavy side but gives you awesome results.

Works very well but the head does get heavy, so the strap is helpful but works well and does a nice job.

The first big job for this tiller was to till the ground on our lawn's bare spots - before laying down new sod. The spots are hard; but it doesn't matter to the cultivator. It just cuts the "hard pan": and tills the soil 4 - 5 inches deep. The first lesson I had to learn is, just let it do the work.If it's any help, the unit driving the cultivator has a 4-cycle Troy-Bilt engine, which is 3 years old and has separate edger and trimmer attachments. I can't say for sure how well a 2-cycle engine will perform with this unit. I switched from a 2-cyle engine to a 4 cycle because I had trouble driving the edger. The 4-cycle engine handles the cultivator's load quite well.I ought to credit - Denny and Kathy's Superstore - the company from whom it was purchased. It arrived ahead of schedule. This was the swiftest delivery from an Amazon supplier yet.

It's not the best on really hard ground or clay, but it's good. It will dig up the ground and it works excellent when mixing new dirt/compost in.
