As for me it wore me out because it just didn't have the power or the size to till a larger plot of ground.
I very much look forward to using the larger machine I have.
My neighbor down the street has a Troy Built rear tine and using it is like pushing a hot knife through butter.
I hope my larger one is at least somewhat like this.  |
Nothing beats a rear tine tiller.
Mine is a craftsman dual rotating rear tine tiller.
You can run the tines backwards while the tiller is going forward and really dig down deep It has two different things that come down one is for the tilling and is a depth gauge.
The other is a spike and is for when the tillers tines are running forward and it keeps the thing from running off like a wild mule.
This method is called cultivating and really smooths the soil.
I also use it as a small tractor to drag large heavy objects around the place.
It has a 8.5 206 CC Briggs and Stratton motor on it.
It was even used to dig out a huge hole where one of my raised beds is.
It was about 3.5 cubic yards and total weight was around 10,000 pounds of soil.
Did it all by hand.
I love the thing.
