FWIW, 2 of mine have the lower "U" bracket and the other one does not. I don't notice any difference but I'm sure the ones with the bracket are more stable and sturdy.

Make sure you get the yellow U bracket and use it. The tiller bounces around enough while working you want to make sure you don't go bending anything by not utilizing it. Tiller gear boxes are a PITA to bend back if you ever are ever unfortunate to bend it. Don't ask me how I know.....
