Title: An Achilles heel
Review: Yes, it's all true: it starts easily, runs quietly, minimum vibration, no need to mix gas and oil, all those things are true, but it has an Achilles heel: the transmission! After not too much use, the tines stopped spinning. I took it to a repair shop. The transmission was shot. Parts alone are $130 plus labor - 50% of the original cost. What does one do? Apparently this is not an uncommon problem based on online research. There is no worthwhile alternative, however, so I either have to rent or repair. Not sure yet which I'll do.
Is the review positive or negative?
