Question 1

are the blades removeable?

Accepted Answer

I have had no need to remove the blades, but did check yesterday and they are secured with a bolts and nuts as stated below.

Question 2

Is it made in the United States, I do not want to purchase a product made in China, Japan ect.

Accepted Answer

I could find only this on the tiller: "Fabrique A China", so I assume it is made in China!!!

Question 3

Motor runs but tines won't turn. Any suggestions? Tiller only 1 year old. Thanks!

Accepted Answer

I had the same problem with the 6 amp.Since I used it a lot and it expired the warranty, so I just bought the bigger model 9 amp.  Sorry, these won't last long, around 1 or 2 years.

Question 4

variable speed?

Accepted Answer

Hello,  As I said--I bought my tiller 4 years ago so they may have updated it.  Mine is either off or on as far as the tines spinning.  What I meant is it would be nice if it had say three speeds to turn the tines at--slow, med and fast or just a dial or lever to adjust.  On mine, when you push the button/lever to turn the tines--it's only one speed and quite fast.  It still works very well, but the reason I would like to dial the speed down a little is because when I till the leaves and compost into my deep beds, it kind of throws some of it out of the beds.  If it went slower, it would stir the material in slower and not toss so much.  This is definitely not a problem when tilling in open garden.  Also, it's light enough that you can actually pull the tiller backwards to go over an area an extra time or two if it's throwing a lot of soil or not getting as deep as you want it to--before moving your feet and advancing forward. Hope I explained what you needed?  Despite the minor speed thing and safety button, I just love this tiller and it has proven to have lasting durability.
