WARNING ! Ansung misrepresenting

TheMan419 · Nov 28, 2016

Man someone needs to take their medication or something. If you are that offended return the dang thing. That is the best way a consumer can hold a manufacturer responsible. Don't buy their products. Quite simple really. I make that choice every day.

Wouldn't it be awesome if he weighs the tiller and it's the weight listed on Ansung's website? Then all of the griping/arguing will be for nothing...

Agreed. And there's also the possible that the tiller works great regardless of what it weighs or what has been changed on the model update. But I'm beginning to think we will never know because I don't think he's going to use it.

I've never considered buying an implement and putting it under a glass case just for exhibition. I've always bought them to use. Silly me.

Rigging weighs 6 lbs.
ER062 tiller without drive shaft 470 lbs - 6 lbs = 464 lbs.
ER062 tiller with driveshaft. 500 lbs -6 lbs = 494 lbs.

Advertised 656 lbs. v/s 494 lbs. actual weight?

162 pounds LESS than the manufacturer advertised weight?

In my opinion,...... THAT is a BIG difference !!!

No matter how well the tiller might work, I too would be VERY unhappy about that !!!

Is that all the way off of the ground? Looks almost like the lower end is still touching.
Also, have you checked the accuracy of the scale with something that weighs 4-500#?

I noticed he used the tray scale to weight the rigging instead of just showing a picture of the rigging hooked up. Also what is the scale accuracy over its weight range? He is over on another thread now wanting pictures of what folks have as he does not believe without pictures. Strange we have never see a picture of his in use.

Yes it is off the ground and this is a brand new scale that has been certified and I checked it with weights, so if I went to all the trouble to prove you wrong with new photos your next post would be that I Photo shopped something.
