This is a good unit at a great price. Plenty of torque, in fact, if it had any more I would have broken my arm. It was easy to put together right out of the box even though the directions are a little hazy. One of two drawbacks and the reason for the four star ratings, the box was missing two bolts needed to secure the handles to the motor. The second, I live in a place that has heavy caliche just under the soil and this unit just would not penetrate it or cut it out. It would just spin and polish it as smooth as glass and make it hard as concrete. It does fine in regular soil up until I hit the caliche. I would buy this unit again and will continue to use this one it better soil.
