SuperHandy Rear Tine Tiller - 7HP Engine, 16"

I bought this Super Handy l Guo116 Rear tune roto tiller on amazon recently, thinking that maybe a rear tine tiller might have some advantages over the front tine ones. Ah! Very disappointed. I think the biggest disappointment is that where the drive wheels were trying to pull the machine forward the reversing tines were not allowing that to happen. The wheels were simply spinning. It either needs more weight onto the machine or wheel weights to keep them from spinning. I had to keep lifting up on the handles to put weight onto the wheels to keep them from spinning. As for the free-wheeling option of the machine to move it around, I was able to figure that one out after reading the manual several times. It truly is a pain to have to pull out those O-pins and replace them every time one needs to move the machine around. The picture explaining the procedure could have been more explicit and maybe a little larger. As for setting up the machine, it was a little challenging. I compared it to doing a jig saw puzzle where the nuts, bolts and clips all had to fit the right way. There could have been better instructions and visuals. For example, I have set up other items from manufacturer’s instructions and they have had an outline of a certain bolt or nut on the paper so that one could put the item against the outline to match it up with bolt number and size. I am an 81 year old person and have had a few different tillers in my time. I do not remember having to manhandle any of those to get the job done. The machine should be doing the work. Not me. I could have dug my garden by hand, but chose to buy a tiller to do the job. In this case, I am exhausted and sore from manhandling this beast. I also do not notice where anyone is offering to take the machine back if one is not satisfied with it. No problems at all with the shipping. I was surprised how soon it showed up. I have since become even more disappointed with this machine. Would you not think that spending money on a machine like this the seller would throw in a quart of the required gear lube For no other reason than to guaranty the right product goes into the machine. I searched high and low for the ooo lube grease and did not find it except in larger, expensive containers. Now the drive wheels will pull the machine forward, but the tines will barely turn. In fact I can stop them from turning with my hands. This I do not record to stop the tines from turning I spent approx. $800 and no support available? No one calls you back to try to help make things right. It sure would be nice to talk with someone about the problem. No garden this year I guess. If you cannot help me can you at least suggest somewhere where i can have it fixed? Thanks!
