Default Seeking advice on a tiller purchase

Thanks for the info'. I don't think I could use an electric, too big of a
lot (an acre+) and never know where I'd need one. Current project in mind
is a grassy area 4' x 35'. Don't know if that is considered big or not.
Thanks, Bob

I need to buy a tiller for small jobs around the yard. I have used a
couple of those huge ones that shake a person to bits. I am seventy+
years old body is at least ten years older (at least it feels that way
at times). Anyway, I would like something smaller even if it takes
longer to do a job.

I am asking for advice on what brands I should look at and whether to
buy new or try to find a used one.

Any advice anyone has to offer or any personal experiences with
tillers, would be appreciated.

Thanks, Bob



I do not know how you define small, but the one I am using is really
small. It's an electric hand held tiller. However, I am using it all the
time. I've had it for two years without any problems whatsoever. It's not
extremely powerful, and not something you would use for any major tasks.
But for normal use around you existing beds it's perfect.

Mine has the brand name "BCS". I did a little searching on the Internet
but couldn't find it under that brand name. I did find the same one
though under another name. You can see it he

The price on the site above is higher than what I paid. I paid around
$160 for mine.
