Can your tiller be pushed up and down a slight hill/grade? The places on my
lot that I'd like to use a tiller are on a slight grade, and I'm a
relatively small woman of only above average fitness (no *wonder woman*).

Thanks,

That's because you don't have one. Our Troy-bilt gets used really often
in
our clay soil. I plant wide enough to get through the rows in July (20"),
and run it shallow to cultivate. Saves a lot of time. We put down
tomatoes
etc in a grid so I can go down the rows and then across. Plus use it when
sidedressing active growth. Plus we put down composted material to work
into the top little bit of the soil. Plus completely till again in the
fall, I can plant a cover crop and still get in there in the spring
several
weeks earlier. We feed our large family all year long from the garden and
it would take a long time without a tiller.

There aren't many reasons for most gardeners to own a tiller, as
opposed
to
hiring someone to till on the rare occasions you really need that kind
of
work done. Why do you want one?
