BEST HOME CULTIVATOR EVER?! The Ego 9.5 Cultivator Destroys Anything it Touches

Let me tell you, this thing is no joke! If you have compaction like me or wanting to start a garden you might want to till it up. I decided to buy the EGO 9.5 Cultivator for you guys and try it out. I believe in the EGO line and they have yet to let me down. I can't imagine there being a better cultivator than this bad boy so it gets my best of the best top rated! But then again besides my manual cultivator this is the only one I have ever used! Hopefully this video helps you with your decision and leave a thumbs up. Maybe even subscribe because its free!

[@RedMaij]

Thank you for this review and full demo!

[@TheNeighborDominator]

For sure. The thing is a beast but beware, I heard someone hit rocks and it stopped working. They called customer service and they were on hold forever and they didn't help. I clearly hit a bunch of debri with no problem and mine is still working perfect🤷‍♀️

[@RedMaij]

@@TheNeighborDominator I'm ordering mine from Amazon and am getting their service package for it, so hopefully I won't have to deal with Ego's customer service. I've heard they're very hit or miss depending on who you get. I have one of their lawn mowers and absolutely love it so I figure this is worth a shot. Getting the power head, trimmer, edger, and cultivator.

[@GreenWerksLLC]

I agree the cultivator is a beast and does not consume a lot of power from the batteries.

[@TheNeighborDominator]

Do you have one? The thing is legit badass! I was shocked to see barley any charge missing

[@GreenWerksLLC]

@@TheNeighborDominator I do. Used it for the first time to dig a trench about 6’ long and about a 1.5’ deep. It was ripping through dirt, rocks and even roots.

[@chrisfedorchuk]

Liked this video a lot. Normally not a huge fan of OPE reviews

[@TheNeighborDominator]

Thank you. What was different that made you like it? Your response is mich appreciated

[@jaymetheaccountant]

That power head is a sweet unit Clint 😎 great content thank you!

[@TheNeighborDominator]

What do you think of the voice over? It makes the videos shorter. I kind of like it. It allows the consumer to get the info and get out. What are your thoughts? Or do you like when the person speaks to the camera?

[@jaymetheaccountant]

@@TheNeighborDominator you can do both they are equally effective. If you have a long content consider the voice over.

[@sunoncream1118]

this is the best shit ever to have root fragrement of ur unwanted thing everywhere... your soil is hard as concrete? it doesnt matter .. do a berkeley compost, 2x lawmow 1x woodship .. plant directly into that ...

[@solarroofing8072]

just put wood chips on it. will be compacted as heck in a year anyways. or add compost to keep the soil light.

[@HawkGTboy]

This is a neat little tool, but don't overload it. I was using mine to tear up an overgrown flowerbed with lots of vines and roots. I hit a fist-sized rock and it killed the motor. Took it to the shop and they said that one of the capacitors burned up and melted through the main circuit board. I've only used the powerhead motor a few times since I bought it in May of '22. EGO is replacing it, so I can't really complain, but now I know that this is a light gardening tool. It's not made for heavy duty tilling work. The battery has the power, but the motor and electronics in that powerhead aren't built for it. I have a bunch of EGO tools and I like them, but this is one a little more fragile than the others.

[@randyvillegas6476]

may be it needs some modifications!..

[@aquienpuedainteresar4188]

Would you or could you spread sand before using the cultivator?

[@johnnymel77]

Sold

[@TheNeighborDominator]

It is a beast man. I'm telling ya!

[@WarrenH.]

how many ah is your battery?

[@TheNeighborDominator]

5 ah. It can cultivate a 1500sq ft of yard. I did a reno and mixed in freah dirt. Its a beast

[@kove]

Already have a corded tiller, but cordless is soooo much more convenient. At 99, I may sell the old and but this, thanks for reviewing man!

[@lawn2learn]

Going both directions helps level out the ruts. Let’s go Ego. Love my kit. I think it was 399 just for the combo kit. How much was the tiller?

[@TheNeighborDominator]

I got it for 179 at ace hardware. Ace is the place!

[@baconsledge]

What powerhead. Battery?

[@Aaron40117]

thanks for the review. Much appreciated.

[@TheNeighborDominator]

No problemo. It is my pleasure!

[@maxdogr]

EGO tools are all beasts. I have the power saw that I use to cut firewood and fell trees. The weed-eater is a beast too. Amazing equipment.

[@TheNeighborDominator]

I couldn't agree more! But now there is a new kid in town called Senix. I am giving them a run for their money this year

[@victorvannatter312]

Great video. What size battery did you have on there?

[@TheNeighborDominator]

Thank you! I was using a 5ah battery

[@JasonSeiberlich]

Crazy good video, Clint. Good work.

[@DIYDad1]

Legit beast mode tiller right there!

[@TheNeighborDominator]

Beast mode at the highest level! My bicep was sore the next day!

[@HawkGTboy]

Just take frequent breaks to let the heat dissipate. When you’re really working this tiller you can feel the heat pouring out of the motor compartment. I burned mine up this way. Ego replaced it under warranty but now I try not to let it overheat.

[@GenRicOpekc]

Thanks for posting this!

[@TheNeighborDominator]

No problem! I love this cultivator!

[@IIIllllIIIIlllll]

Do you have a video of how to apply slopemaster, level, and seed?

[@TheNeighborDominator]

That is crazy you ask. I used slopemaster master on that side and filmed it but never put it together. It definitely helped out. It doesn't work in a spreader and you don't need as much as you think

[@outfoxthefox]

I want one of these but I don't think it can compare with a Mantis Tiller.

[@TheNeighborDominator]

They are convenient that is for sure if you are in the ego eco system. I'm not familiar with the mantis.

[@kingwolfjm8500]

I like how we bleeps out crap but you can still clearly here the word crap

[@TheNeighborDominator]

That was my attempt at being funny🤣

[@100GTAGUY]

I will say right off the bat this thing looks like it digs deeper than the ryobi tiller I just picked up. The motor housing on mine is down between the tiller blades and takes up a lot of space, even sitting on hard ground there's like an inch of clearance before it bottoms out on the motor and won't dig deeper. Works great in deep semi loamy soils but is a total bastard on clay.

[@TheNeighborDominator]

I just did a lawn renovation and tilled up 1500 sq ft. This thiin chewed it up!

[@100GTAGUY]

@@TheNeighborDominator ah nice. I did the same with my ryobi just maybe about 550sq ft of area for my yard for a new lawn. Took about an hour and a half over two days but it was some pretty rough ground, super dry colorado clay which is basically cement. I'm not even going to attempt the other half of my yard, as the maple aeration roots are too intense and I don't wanna shred em too much. I'll have to settle for the rake and patience lol. It'll be great for tilling some garden beds though.

[@stevequach1869]

Man that looks fun. Now I have to come up with am excuse to buy that.

[@TheNeighborDominator]

It was alot of fun to use. I'm going to cultivate the side of my house and try to grow pumpkins next year!

[@Se7enChk]

Very good, real demo. Thanks!

[@TheNeighborDominator]

It was an absolute beast

[@_BlackPaladin]

Can it cut through big roots?

[@TheNeighborDominator]

I mean plant roots it was going through but not tree roots.

[@_BlackPaladin]

Thanks. I have a flowerbed that’s near some bushes and it has a ton of roots just below the surface. Nothing like the size of tree roots tho. ​@@TheNeighborDominator

[@dancarpenter419]

How long did it last for 1 full battery charge ?

[@TheNeighborDominator]

I did that whole section and it didn't even take one bar. I'm going to do another test with it in a renovation I'm doing.

[@dancarpenter419]

@@TheNeighborDominator very good news. I have a lot of the ego products but I am about to pick up the tiller

[@fredrickkipchumbaboit]

How much and is it available in kenya

[@Striperman]

Nice attachment and great review. It works well :)

[@TheNeighborDominator]

It really does work well. Saved my back! I don't know how you removed that sod! My back would be toast!

[@Striperman]

In 08 at 51 it took about a week to recover. This time I had to do it over 7 days. At 64 day one I ended up in the emergency room with dehydration. Its not getting any easier 😂

[@jhariette]

Can you use it on lower beds???

[@norbertopereira9441]

What size battery

[@TheNeighborDominator]

I was using the 5ah that came with the blower.

[@snackymcgoo1539]

Voice over is actually a nice format. Give you a chance to not "um and uhh" your way to your next point and you can plan out your comments.

[@TheNeighborDominator]

I liked it! When i filmed i just had throat surgery. I feel there is more action and static taking on camera. Videos can be shorter and to the point

[@paulcollopy2235]

I have used my EGO power head for about 60 minutes. One day with the broom and for 15 seconds with the cultivator. I started cultivating some sandy soil when the cultivator hit a small rock. I bent down and tossed the rock to the side. I tried to start the cultivator again, but it did not start. The battery is fully charged, and I have tried a second battery, too. I can spin the rod in the power head freely, but it will not turn with power, the battery blinks red when I try. I contacted EGO and they say the stone is a natural accident and not covered by warranty. I say something must be wrong with the wand and I want it checked. They continue to say that the rock has damaged it and the warranty does not cover it. I have asked to have this escalated up and have someone call me. They did after several days, but still repeat their written script that the rock has voided the warranty. It’s a garden cultivator, you will hit some small rocks. Common sense tells me there must be something wrong with the power head, but they continue with the script, the rock has voided your warranty. So, the wand lasted for 60 minutes. That is an expensive hour. Making me more frustrated with EGO is trying to connect with a human. I have spent over 90 minutes, (three phone calls) listening to the on-hold music. The first time I connected with them, we were disconnected at 5:00 PM. I tried to call back only to find out they were closed for the day. That was very disturbing. I have bought the cultivator, broom, edger, and string trimmer in hopes of getting my area cleaned up this summer. So far, my experience has been very dissatisfying with EGO and I cannot recommend them.

[@TheNeighborDominator]

Damn man! That is a horrible story. I, like you, have purchased all my ego stuff but have never had a problem. If I had any connections with ego I would call them for you but they don't communicate with little people like me. I'm sorry this happened to you

[@paulseverson2307]

It sounds to me like a connection problem. How many times have you tried starting it again after waiting a bit? You might want to try having your wife or friend call EGO like it's their product and DON'T MENTION hitting the rock. Just tell them about the cultivator stopping and not starting again.

[@jeffbrazill764]

What a terrible experience. Can you return the item to where you bought it?

[@HawkGTboy]

Same exact thing happened to me. I hit a rock and the thing died. I was really working the thing though. I was using it to clear out the roots of some multiflora hedge that I had cut down. The locked rotor drew more current than the electronics could handle and one of the capacitors melted. I took it to a local "authorized service center" dealer and let them deal with EGO. Much less painful than waiting on the phone. EGO replaced it and it's on the way. Total down time was about 3 weeks. Going forward, now I know that this little motor has limits. This thing is a light gardening tool, it's not made for actual clearing work. EGO likes to say that their products have equal power to gas equivalents but not in this case. Listen to the motor as you're using it, if it sounds like it's "straining" then you're risking burning the thing up.

[@100GTAGUY]

Sounds like the shaft for the rotors sheared off the motor internally which may have tripped a failsafe feature in the circuitry.
