Need a recommendation for a garden tiller

[Hank Hill]

A few wild pigs will till up your garden in a hurry

Three shovels, three neighborhood teens, $20 each.

The next time I own a tiller will be never.

It is true about the bucking but you have to learn how to use them. You cannot try to fight it or it will beat you up bad. When the ground is hard you have to set the depth regulator and take small bites at a time. Happy gardening. Maybe you can sell your Pony to the guy looking for tiller.

I walk to the side of mine and hold onto it with one hand. Set the depth gauge and let her go. I till my gargen so beep you can hardly walk in it. Takes me 3 passes with my Troybuilt Horse but I just let it do the work.

I have an older front tine tiller I've used for years, rough handling but it starts and runs every year. I got a used Troy Built rear tine several years ago to "upgrade" . it has been a POS. I have spent $400 in attempted repairs, swapped engines to a better frame/body....and STILL haven't gotten a full row tilled. I used my old front tine last year and will do the same this year.

I rent one too. Works out great and I don't have to store it the other 363 days a year I don't use it.

Yea cost of maintenance is much better if I rent

Sure you could go to Sear's and get one of those garden tool tillers OR you could be done in a couple seconds with this

This is true. I'm just stubborn and try and fight the darn thing and try and make it till deep My dad on the other hand always given me hell, tell'n me to let the tiller do the work, but it just doesn't till as deep as I like, and you still have to hold on to that sucker or it'll take off on you if you're not careful. I got one of the older one's and if the tines catch the top of the ground and try and take off it'll **** near yank your arms off. You just gotta know how to use it. My wife worked for a Doctor and he gave it to her because he couldn't get it started. Justed needed a little tune-up and she purrs like a kitten. Can't sell it though..... It's my wife's. She get's to much enjoyment from the rodeo that takes place when I attempt to use it
