Has anyone had the cultivator lock up on them? I was running it and it suddenly stopped spinning. Nothing was stuck in it and the motor was running.

no i have not observed that for me i wish the tire could have bigger and sturdier so that i could use them on rich deep loamy soil

Yes, I had this problem a few weeks ago. i posted my comments under my purchase Dec 2013 and a great guy named Matt was able to assist me with a new replacement and prepaid RMA. As of now, I am waiting for the unit to arrive and then will return the original. Give them a call, they aery very nice and understanding. Check out my review/post on this as I will do updates. I think the company will work with you. Good luck, Jeff

I had the same problem. What I did was unscrew the motor from the base and and use compressed air to clean the motor. Sometimes a piece of lead would get stuck inside the motor mechanism.

Thanks for the info! I opened up the housing and found that the plastic pin that forms a 'pivot' for the orange handle was partially broken. No hope of repair without buying new parts. So (like you), I rigged the switch to be permanently on! Still have all my fingers & toes after one mow.

I had a similar sounding issue recently and was able to get it back to normal by blowing into the top and bottom of the base and under the reservoir where it connects. I had to do it a few times but after I got some old grounds and such out of there, it started working fine again. Hope it helps.

Danno, I had the same problem with the motor while grinding hard red winter wheat and finally finished by hand - good exercise that! I then did a pound or so of old fashioned oats and found that it handled the work without problems. My next trial will be using white wheat grain. I'll probably do that in the next week or so.

I've had the very same problem. After three months it has become so congested that the motor labors hard and then the unit stops working altogether. I've twice tried flushing it out with water through the top and bottom. A lot of black debris comes out, but it still doesn't work properly after cleaning. I had to return and get a different unit.

Tammy,I figured out after that happened to me was to get the motor running and pour the mixture in using the slot in the top. I haven't had any more trouble with it sticking. It does seem to freeze up quicker than the time it says in the booklet. I scrap it out with a rubber spatula and put it in a container to finish in the freezer. I got a good hint from another web site to put a little acholol ( rum or tequila)in it to keep it from freezing rock hard. Hope this helps

I wrote to the company that made it. The motor was not working, they sent one right out. Just look up Mama Roo. They can probably replace it. By the way our great grand baby thinks it's the best thing ever.

Just doing some speculating here . . . but do you have a way to determine whether the problem is with the motor or with the controller? Beyond that, I wouldn't have a clue. Good luck.

I have the robocut and like one commented the motor overheats and stops after a few minutes of use. I also notice that the motor is slowing down even after replacing blades and oiling. I will be changing to flowbee soon to try it out.

Hi. I'm not sure if it should move on you??? I have to manually spin mine. It doesn't just spin easily. My guess is something is loose or there is a defect. I hope this helps.

Yep, I've had an electric hedge trimmer for over 20 years. I agree with Kajunman...check to see if the vents are blocked with crud, and use a brush to clean them out. If it doesn't work anymore, my guess would be your motor burned out or there's a loose wire...

A friend of mine just had the same problem, he flew it, replaced battery with a fresh one, and nothing... Sorry to say this but his main rotor motor went bad...But if you're lucky the transmitter batteries may be low enough to give you a problem try replacing them...(Don't pay much attention to the bars for your transmitter batteries , it lies)

It might be. My motor still works. The orginal motor burnt out because the canister was full of leaves. You might want to check that everything is put back and working correctly. The motor might be working too hard.

I have the same exact problem. Trade Station suggests replacing the motor and if that doesn't work replace the diverted.

U bought it through Amazon, RETURN IT and get another one. Sounds like it's got a short or a defective motor/ battery. Take advantage of Amazons excellent return policy.
