I have a Ryobi RY60511A cultivator that will run fine but the tines don't rotate with the power they should have. The unit will basically walk across the ground powered by the tines but as soon as I try to make it dig into the ground, the tines just grind to a halt. I'm thinking it's something with the drive unit but am looking for some opinions before I start tearing things apart.

Good Evening, I'm am putting my Ryobi 790r string trimmer back together then thought the reason I have not had it out for over a year & a half is the thing is a pain to start. I hate 2 stroke engines the mess the noise hard to start. [B]So I started reading about cordless trimmers I never have had anything that has run off a battery so this is new to me. One I did read a lot about is & it got high marks is the American Gardener YS24 yardstick it has a 24 volt battery & doubles as a edger. I guess my question is before I put to much into the ryobi I'm thinking of buying this could anyone tell me if the rechargeables work & if so is this a good make?. [/B]Before I finish I'm not a big yard fan meaning I really don't care if my lawn looks like a golf course most of the time it looks like the ruff!. Also I read about the 4 stroke engines but there big money don't know if there worth it? Thank you! Will,
