In article , lid says...

Your opinion?



At the price they charge for the items that company sells they better
come with someone to operate them.

While I don't endorse this brand I would go with something like this
battery powered one for the price.


Mantis Battery-Operated Cordless Tiller and Cultivator, 3558

just get a stirrup hoe. nothing like that would work here
as i don't do much tilling to begin with so the soil surface
can be compact and crusty. the stirrup hoe lets me skim the
surface of the crust and leave it intact otherwise.

i seem to recall that you also have pretty compacted soil
there.

They call them scuffle hoes around here . And they don't work worth a
shit in rocky soil - this IS Stone County after all !

My soil is rather hard where the weeds grow. I might
send up some sparks!

I use a stir up hoe on them, but it is a rather large
area to clear.
