  • Tiller
Style: 209 cc
Best tiller I ever owned starts easy and does a good job
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2025 by Bubba cleaton

  • The machine has multiple problems on my first use
Style: 209 cc
1st the delivery took 20 days- and dealing with XPO delivery service was difficult the machine arrived with some damage and Yardmax informed me I would need to register the machine before they would replace the damaged parts that was a few weeks ago I discovered today they still have not shipped those parts 2 On my first attempt to use the tiller... The machine has 2 tilling gears the forward rotating one is impossible to use when I try to till the entire 200lb tiller lurches forward and I am unable to maintain control ( this is a big safety concern) even when I throttle the engine down low it’s impossible to till with the tines rotating forward I would almost have to run behind the tiller and at that speed it does not chop the soil. Essentially I have a 1 speed tiller and that speed isn’t working right either. I took videos and will try updating the review it’s just crazy how fast the 200lb tiller jumps out of my hands even when I try tilling previously tilled soil 3 when tilling using the reverse direction- after 15 minutes the machine seizes up and a loud squealing and a burning smell- the engine is still running fine but the tiller does not move and tines do not rotate - you have to stop and let it cool down before it will work again I removed the belt housing and found lots of shavings from the belt inside - I adjusted the tension on the belt but the machine still locks up about every 15 minutes Amazon product support has been great - no problems with Amazon but not happy at all with my Yardmax experience I have only used the machine 1 time and have been in contact with yard max multiple times - seems like they wish to just brush me off with “ I will send you a part “ I still have not received the 1st parts from delivery damages I bought this for a garden but they do not care... also was informed I may need to pay for the repair service myself and then submit the receipt for yard max to reimburse me looks like I will need to borrow a tiller or rent one until this gets resolved I am also discovering they have no authorized service centers even the shops that appear on the Yardmax website are not warranty centers I have called 4 places and they are no interested in working on Yardmax products ... show more

  • A Very Good Value
Style: 209 cc
Starts with one pull of the rope and runs smoothly. The controls are easy to use. The tines rotate forward and backwards, with the direction easily reversed. It plows deeply and turns the soil over completely. It has also weeded well between growing rows. It performs exactly as advertised. The only complaint I have is a tilt cut-off safety feature--if the machine tilts in a furrow (this occurs when going over rough ground still furrowed from last season) it will cut off. You then have to lug it onto level ground for an easy restart. This is a small complaint. It is a very good value for the money. Alan Ferguson ... show more

  • For Amazon's price of May 2019 with free shipping, this is a super deal
Style: 209 cc
My YT4565 was a non-starter out of the box. When I pulled the rope it wouldn't even sputter. I thought I would have to return it, and was pretty disappointed. But, since I didn't want to box it back up, I followed a tutorial on FamilyHandyman-com called 'Small Engine Start Up Tips'. My neighbor was going to come over and look at it so I thought I'd give it the old college try at doing my best to start it on my own, before he got there, that way I could really utilize his expertise instead of just get basics. After doing several of the Family Handyman steps trying to figure it out, it finally fired. I think when it fired I had taken off the black plastic thing that is under the air filter. This seems to be a sort of S-shaped 'intake' for the carb. Once as per the tutorial I had sprayed WD-40 into the carb, at some point it finally fired. If you have a complete non-starter you can put WD-40 in where the spark plug goes, and it should fire. This will tell you that your plug is good, and also that the flywheel system (sorry, not too smart on small engines but am learning) is properly generating a spark. The shifter is hit and miss. You have to stay patient. Keep trying, but don't try to force it or you might break it. It's like sometimes where you want to go on the shifter isn't 'cleared' by the transmission until after several tries. Then suddenly there will be an internal thunk and it will suddenly go. I think most of the issues with it are due to the transmission itself, not the shifter design. Sometimes you can jump from Forward in Transport mode, clear over to Forward Rotating Tines on Till mode. This is the entire length of the gear options, but sometimes that is what you are wanting to do, so if you do it by luck, so be it. XD ha ha Sometimes if I was in Neutral in Transport mode, it was hard to get to Forward which is just one slot to the left. Sometimes I could do it by hitting the shifter handle slightly with the palm of my hand. But sometimes I'd jump past it. The point is to don't lose your temper and keep trying. It may take several tries but eventually you'll get to the gear you want. That said, the transmission itself seems pretty capable. And as some others have posted, *slightly* lifting the clutch (the 'drive bar' is what I'd call it) towards the handle sometimes helps it to shift. Reverse is great, I accidentally nosed the tiller into a 3 foot deep ditch at the edge of the garden while tilling, and in Reverse Transport mode it moved back up and out of it just fine. Tilling is great also. Not too hard to maneuver. You just lift up the rear tines to do a 180. You don't even need to stop them rotating if you don't want to. I am happy with this purchase. The Craftsman over at Lowe's for $300 more didn't even have forward-rotating tines as an option, which you really need if you want to till in leaves. In my view the tricky shifting is the price you pay for an otherwise solid machine, at a great price. (I got it for $560 with free shipping.) Have noticed the price has jumped considerably on here in the past few weeks, I assume due to Amazon themselves no longer selling it. (Update 2019-10-27, so about my fourth use of the tiller): Recently had the tiller stop working... it was making a squeal and the engine would rev way down, if I tried to pull the clutch lever up to the handle to get it going--it wouldn't move or do anything at all except quit. Turned out the belt was a bit loose, you tighten it by turning the sleeve up where the cable attaches to the clutch lever. You loosen the nut a little away from the sleeve, then turn the sleeve (so you seem to be tightening the individual strands of the cable even more) 'til it gets up to where the nut is. And now it works again... I love this tiller!!! ... show more

  • Awesome machine
Style: 209 cc
I like everything about this tiller. Starts on the first pull every time, love the fact it has counter rotating tines when the ground is really hard it doesn’t try to take off on you. This will be my 3rd season with it and I have experienced 0 issues
