The setup is simple and easy. The handle bar were folded up, and just needed screwing it to erect it. The tiller blades and wheels just have sliding in and secured with provided split-pins.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I have tried cheap 2 stroke engines and learnt my lesson. They aren’t helpful with my aging body. That’s why I’m looking for Atom Tiller with Honda engine.
LOL !!! Thanks for watching. The cord-pulling was certainly difficult. I freed it by opening up the cord cover, and spraying some WD-40 lubricant on the cord assembly. It certainly fixed it ... for now. :-)
I purchased one of these small Plantcraft Tiller/Cultivators about 5 years ago. It was the 65CC model. Initially, I used it once or twice a year, running it for about an hour or two each time. It started easily and performed as expected, giving me the desired results. However, recently it suddenly stopped working. Despite several attempts to restart it, I had no luck. Even after letting it cool down for a couple of days and trying again, the best I got was a few kicks and then nothing. Frustrated, I turned to UA-cam for help and watched numerous videos on how to get these machines running again. I began by checking the spark plug and its functionality, which seemed fine - clean and sparking correctly. Next, I carefully removed and inspected the carburettor, following the instructions from the videos. Surprisingly, there was nothing wrong with it; the inside was perfectly clean. Nevertheless, I decided to replace it with a brand new carburettor that came with a new spark plug, fuel lines, and a fuel filter - even though there was nothing wrong with the old spark plug. I tested the new spark plug, and it worked fine. I refuelled the tank with the correct ratio of fresh petrol and two-stroke oil. After pumping the fuel through to the carburettor and giving it full choke, I tried starting it again - but no luck. Despite numerous attempts, the best I achieved was a 10-second run before it stopped again. I even checked if the engine was flooded by inspecting the spark plug, which still showed a good spark. Nothing seemed to work. I even tried soaking the air filter in petrol and putting it back, but the engine continued to refuse to start. I have experience working with small engines for many years, but this one has been the most challenging to deal with. I usually manage to get them started, but not this time! I've decided to take it to a local small engine repair shop tomorrow, and I'll provide an update when I get it back. If you're a backyard vegetable grower like myself, I suggest not buying a cultivator/tiller like this one. Instead, consider hiring one each year or calling a professional gardener to cultivate your vegetable patch. Dealing with these small cultivators just isn't worth the trouble!
A piece of the piston, between two rings had unbroken off. Therefore the piston was unable to suck the fuel mix through. I dumped it and bought a battery powered cultivator. It's excellent, easy to start!
Can you please make a video of its set-up. Very vague from its manual and no set-up video on you tube for any Giantz tiller.

😂😂😂love that starting technique mate
LOL !!!!
Oh wow .. would have been easier to hire one from Bunnings and had it done in a day
Yes indeed. I bought it because I usually like to spread my DIY job over a few weeks. Reason of it being .... i am just plain lazy. LOL.

I cringed the way you yanked the cord but in fairness that motor has alot of compression, does it want to drive forward?
Yup! It did.
Thanks for the laugh.
I am happy that you were entertained. LOL !!!!
Choke on and don’t squeeze the trigger lol 😂 it’ll start. Shouldn’t have full throttle when starting ever!
Been there, done it. Still the same. Maybe a can of 'Nulon Start Ya Bastard' might work 😆.
Thanks fir this video. I bought one too. Instructions are rubbish. Ended up just following my nose. Mine did start right away though.
Thanks for watching. 😀
I guess that's why it's cheap ... associated with lousy instructions.
Thanks for this.. we got a baumr tiller. It won’t start either….

What’s the diagnosis?
