Purchased 2-3 years ago, it has worked at most 10-15 hours for amateur use. I used it to dig between plants where the soil was always plowed and tilled.

Good little digger for small gardens etc. BUT a warning;
After ½ hour of use from new on loose soil, one of the metal shields fell off. Up on inspection I realise the 3 out of 4 pre-assembled bolts on the motor mount to the differential/gearbox/metal shield was completely missing and the whole motor was only attached to differential with 1 loose bolt!!! Had it given in too, differential bye bye and things would have start flying. The 3 missing bolts have gone missing in the dirt, so I’ll see if I can find new ones out there..
So when assembling the digger, check ALL premounted bolts and screws throughly and tighten them evt. Use thread lock if you have! I wish now, I had done that..

Easy assembly. Tested and it KILLS...!!! Very good purchase!!! Everything I've bought from NAKAYAMA is GUARANTEED!!!

It is for small jobs, it is not for plowing a field. I use it to dig between the plants, for this job it is just fine.

For 3 years it did its job satisfactorily, after that the gears wore out, for which there are no spare parts. Its use was in a small garden of 25 square meters, 2 to 3 times a year, with soft soil and no weeds.

This tiller is for small gardens, I bought it to work on the cherry trees around and for the rows that the tractor can't reach. The pros are that it is very lightweight, it is powerful at almost 3 horsepower, and it does a good job in soil with a little grass. Nakayama makes quality machines. The cons are that it has vibrations, but it is easy to use and balances well, and its blades are relatively small. I will give it 5 stars

It's not worth it; after two years of use in a 50 sqm garden, it broke down. The gears in the blade transmission wore out without particularly demanding work during this time. I will get a larger one at 200 cc, even if it seems a bit excessive for my garden, just to be sure I won't waste money again. Mediocre build quality; after two uses, when I got it, two screws broke, as well as the throttle lever. Also, the recoil starter didn't fully return after a while and a piece of rope was hanging.

I have a field of two to three acres and I plant tomatoes, potatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, corn, etc. Before sowing, I plow and cultivate the field with the tractor. I use the plow to dig in the middle

Very powerful but let's not forget, no drill enters the ground with grass. Of course, I used it on about a hundred meters of garden with tough grass, it cuts them but it gets clogged and needs cleaning. Very powerful tiller and also for a lawnmower. It is easily assembled.

After 3 times on a milled piece 5 by 8, the differential gear ate up and the worst part is that there are no spare parts. You are forced to buy the whole differential, which is very expensive compared to the initial price of the milling machine

I have it for my garden and it has saved my hands. It digs into the desired and doesn't consume too much gasoline. It doesn't take time in maintenance and in terms of money, it is a good opportunity

It was a bad purchase. We have had it for about 6 months, but in the end, we ended up using a shovel to make our 30 square meter gardens with quite fluffy soil. As soon as it touches the soil, it doesn't turn at all. Only the blades rotate in the air and not quickly. With measured proportions of gasoline-oil, the spark plug turned black on the 2nd use and it wouldn't move forward. Poor construction quality: various plastic pieces are already starting to break, such as the screw from the filter cover.

Suitable for small gardens like all in this category and weight. I use it in my large garden as well, but for digging (after I have plowed it with my big cultivator) to prevent grass from growing around the plants. Its advantages are the economical operation and zero maintenance
