No, it uses a metal linkage system from the foot pedal to the pump instead of electronic sensors, which is why the owner chose it.
The oil filter is in an easy location, making oil changes a breeze according to the owner.
It came from the factory with AG tires, but the owner had them swapped for R4 tires because the AG tires were tearing up the ground.
The owner tilled new weedy ground that had been disced earlier, and the tiller turned up good rich black dirt with no problems after about 7 hours of use.
