Is that the Merry Tiller with the 7.5 HP Briggs??

The Titan pro range of garden machinery has no connection with Merry Tillers.  It is just coincidence that Wolseley made “Titan” and “Professional” models of Merry Tiller. The petrol engined Titan pro tiller looks to have a Chinese copy of a Honda engine so I expect the whole machine will be Chinese.

 I have a pressure washer by titan pro, has the same basic Chinese engine across the whole petrol range of machines titan make. I`ve had it for 2 years mounted on a bowser trailer for our cleaning business. It works fine, starts well, does what it says on the box. However, spares are a nightmare, even finding them on ebay can be hit and miss. The after service is hit and miss as well. 4 phone calls to get to the right department to buy a new regulator valve. And then its a mobile number. Machine service agents wont touch mine when it comes to repairs either, as they cant get the bits for it. Personally, i would go for a well known make and spend a bit more. As always, it will last longer, repair more easily, and save you in the long run. IMHO of course!  ;)
