Ariens, Honda, Troy Bilt or MTD? That's the question. I'm thinking Honda
on a smaller budget. Front tine preferred. Not a mantis. I want to
retill my lawn, so a mid tine? Thanks. Any good or bad experiences?


If you are only going to use it for a few hours a year or for a special
project, I would recommend renting one. If your lawn is of any size you
will regret getting a small, inexpensive, front tine tiller. They are fine
for small beds or a small garden, but I wouldn't want to use one to till a
lawn of any size. One advantage to renting seldom used tools is that you
can get a much better tool for the job than you might want to purchase. You
don't have to store it the other 364 days you aren't using it, and you don't
have to maintain the tool.
