There are two Honda min-tiller models, the FG100 and FG110.

The FG100 has a slightly larger engine (35cc) but the 25cc FG110 has a much more robust gearbox. The FG110 has been in production longer (it is the most current version).

FYI, both are 4-stroke engines and quite reliable. Pay particular attention to the air filter and and air cleaner. Due to the typical operating environment for a tiller, it won't take very long for a filter to clog, tear, or otherwise allow gritty, scratchy dirt to enter the engine and causing rapid wear.

If it matters, the engines are cast and partially assembled in Japan, but the rest of the tiller and final assembly happens at the Honda plant in Swepsonville, NC.
