makes for one hellofa back scratcher too.
For comparison purposes you can probably rent a tiller a bit more powerful and wider, locally for a few hours for about $25 and up, so if you aren't tilling more than a few hours, one day per year you will break even after 5 years, maybe 4 if you count the gas to drive back and forth to get and return a rental.
Keep in mind that at only 17 pounds and no wheel, you will have to apply a fair bit of elbow grease to attain the 7 inch depth in medium-hard soil.
#2- a wheel would actually work to hinder getting to that depth. It's not a fulcrum to put force on.
I recently purchasd this from walmart (sorry) for ~160.
Trust me this thing is powerful and goes through hard dry dirt better than wet dirt. And holding it back is like having 2 dobermans on a leash.
That said, my right hand got tired holding the switch engaged because it's got a 10 lb grip.
I bought it because rental around here is about $50 per day and I plan on using this several times a year for many years....
And I thought electric lawnmowers were prone to eating their own cords...
It stabilizes it which is helpful because of the higher torque needed to drive larger tines that deep into the ground, as well as being an inherent feature of a heavier tiller so you can move it, the weight bearing down so the tiller doesn't jump up a bit instead of fully digging in.
