Default OT - Tillers

Today I went shopping around and ended up with a Troy Built Super Bronco
from Lowes on sale for $699. My plan is to try it out this year and perhaps
get a tractor mounted tiller next year if I need to. I figure the 16"
tiller will be useful for weeding between rows.

I tried the tiller out when I got it home, I've never used one before, sure
beats the shovel! I tilled the area of last years garden in a few minutes,
this year I plan to make a much larger garden. Looking forward to some good
healthy vegetables later this year.

Nothing quite as satisfying as a new machine that works well.

Milady has 150 tomato plants growing (inside a high tunnel
greenhouse). I tilled it with my VERY old gravely tiller. It uses a
quart of oil to every tank of gas. Got to breath blue smoke even with
the doors open. Still really looks nice when first completed.
