Default Who makes the best garden tillers ?

Although some will disagree, you really only need a tiller to make a new
garden, as you're doing. Afterward, you're supposed to designate growing
areas and "walking & kneeling areas". Never walk on the growing areas.
Therefore, you never need the tiller again. At the very least, get a price
quote from one or more landscapers for doing the initial sodbusting. It
might be cheaper than a tiller.

Well, it has to bust sod. But really my gardens are usually 20'x20' and up
to 30'x30'. Just an ordinary vegetable garden.
Any body know anything about blue BCS machines ? They used to call them
the best tillers on earth.

Hello,

I'm in the market for a new garden tiller. Something with a 5-8
horsepower engine, rear tine, and no more than $600 or so.....
I want this one to be the last I'll ever buy.

Who makes the most dependable ?
Availability of replacement parts is important also.

Opinions anybody ?

Thanks,

John



For what kind of projects, and how often?
