How long can the electric cord be before it loses power for this tiller

I have a 100 ft of cord. No loss of power. This makes reseeding lawn so easy compared to what I used to do.

I bought a 100 foot cord and the tiller works well for me. I like this machine as it is comparatively light and I have quite small vegetable beds.

I have a "contractor grade" 14/3 100' extension cord and the tiller works fine. It has gone through every thing with no noticable loss in power.

I used a 100 ft 12 gauge power cord, "US Wire 65100 12/3 100-Foot SJTW Orange Heavy Duty Extension Cord", that I bought on Amazon. I noticed no loss of power.

I have never had a problem with loss of power.....the farthest I have gone is only about 200 ft though

I use two 100' extension cords connected together and have noticed no loss of power.

The cord is about a foot long. You have to buy your own extension cord. Make sure it is properly rated. This lawn mower draws a lot of amps.

Melanie, truthfully I don't know. Purchased this along with the blower. So now I have two batteries in case I'm trying and I need a recharge. These are a tad heavier than regular electric trimmers, but can trim without hesitation in a rainy environment and don't have to get out cord. Depending on your use, I would expect 2-3 years out of them. Don't know for sure, threw all paperwork away. I use them all the time on hollies and regular hedge and have been well pleased with their positives as I mentioned before. Much better than the old Black and Decker cordless I used to have. Hope this helps. Dr. Speck

My mistake. Kim is correct. There is a green marking on the electric cord at 30". There is a red marking about 5" past that. Then the cord stops unreeling. Nice job Kim!

I doubt it, it is not a reliable tiller, I am on my 3 rd. tiller in about 2 years, all have been replaced under warranty, I requested a money refund but they sent back a tiller, one that was sent back to me was a refurbished one, that lasted 20 minutes, I have soft garden dirt.

In my opinion, yes you can!! You can test this yourself, if the tiller seems to slow down under small loads, the wire is too small!!

on the handle their is a button you push and a lever at your right hand grip you pull to make the tiller run, if you do NOT push the button and hold till the tiller starts it will not run, once it is running you can release the button. their are hooks on the handle to keep the power cord behind the tiller

Very easy to start. There is a lever and starter button located on the upper right corner of the handle. Push the starter button and lift the lever. The tiller will start. To stop it just release the lever. It does take two hands to start it.

its probably 10 to 12 inches,and try not to use a little skinny extension cord or two cords that are different sizes and this thing will last forever,its very durable.The mulcher blade is metal not plastic

It is very short,what i do is make a knot with the existing cord that comes with the black and decker blower and my extension cord and you are in business, it does the job a little noisy it cutsw o the work in half

Yes it will but it's slow. It will pull grass and weeds out of the ground, roots and all. You will have to stop and rake the stuff out of the way as you move along the area. I have a mantis tiller which really tears up the ground but it doesn't pull the weeds out as well as the B&D. My battery lasts for about 30 miinutes, but I have 4 batteries so not a problem....

if I recall correctly, its no more than 6' long. it pulls such low power and amps (1.5a), you can use a 14ga extension cord if needed.

You need to purchase an outdoor extention cord of the appropriate length to meet your needs. The cord on the mower is only about 18 inches long.

There is data in the Black and Decker instruction manual. This tool has a 4.5amp motor. For extension cords between 51 to 100 feet, your extension cord needs to be mad from 16 ga. electrical cord. For most homeowners, your extension cords (not the cheapo cords you use for electric lamps or irons inside your house) are 16 ga. So if your need to extend is from 0 - 100 feet for the Allligator Lopper, you are set. If you need up to 150 feet, then you should go with a cord built from 14 ga wire. Remember, this is only good for tools that have at most 6 amp ratings.

unfortunately there is only a 6 INCH power cord! The blower works great but make sure you have an extension cord handy!!!! I use it often.

The blower has a 6 inch cord and it is AC powered and very powerful. Hope this answers your question

Very tuff to answer because when I'm done mowing I plug it in at an out of sight location. If I had to guess I would say not more than 21/2 hr. unless it had been completely drained.
