Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

got it yesterday
already tilled up the bare spots in the back yard and reseeded it, I also tilled up a 20'x 45'ish garden plot.
6 hp motor has enough balls to chop through roots and spit rocks out with no issues.
rear till tillers are so much easier to use that a front till.

When I redid my front yard I went down and rented a 13 HP hydraulic tiller. That sucker chopped the hell out of the clay bed I had under my grass/moss and mixed new topsoil right in with it.

So you're going into a new line of work or just like tools that you will use twice a year?

Be sure you take care of it with respect to cleaning and so forth. If you are not very savvy about small engines, have someone who is do a solid cleanup and winterization on it every year. The dust and dirt these things kick up is worse than a lawnmower and they tend to be quite a good bit less robust than your typical lawn/garden mower/tractor with respect to their tolerance for being dirty.
That said, tillers like that are excellent. If you're planning a victory garden, you will use it more than twice a year - you will use it periodically during the fall and late winter (depending on where you live) to compost and so forth, not just for turning over the ground for planting. Also they work very well for preparing landscaping beds, though you can't always get as close to structures (porch, house, etc.) as you'd like but nevertheless... good stuff.

keep it clean though.
they dont make them like they used to.
you wont have that in 25 years like the one i use!
thing is a BEAST, and it's so damn heavy that even when it does kick on something, you dont feel it because of the weight!
starts FIRST pull every time, even after it sat 2 years unmaintained!

my parents have one of those it even has a drag behind ride on seat.
in low gear it will pull a house it seems like
2 things I dont like about the one I bought is the handles flex and it has no neutral for transmission.
but for $502 brand new I cant complain although now I wish I would would have spent the extra $100 for the next model up.

when this one wears out, you can buy a new one and learn what you want/need form having this one.
unless you can return it after one use, and they will let you upgrade on trade in.

its already here I have used it. it works good for my needs and will probably last me 10 years at least.
if the handles break I will get a local metal shop to bend me some new ones of heavier duty steel tubing.

My dad bought one when he was a kid...it came with papers as to how to start your own buisness...he ran a rototilling buisness every spring my whole life and still today...he has more then paid for the equipment, and as long as he said no to people's yards that had too many rocks, he had enough money to keep up with repairs on the machine  He's been to over 100 houses over the years and some houses every year since 1981 This was our main summer fun spending money! No wonder why my husband has a side buisness fixing computers.
