I bought a new cub cudet tiller 3 years ago and I love it . It crankes on the fist pull every time. You can turn the tines both ways. Really really strong tiller.

I used one my old neighbor had when I was doing some work for her. Very very nice tiller. It was smooth in rough ground and would flat churn up some dirt.

I have a small one that goes on the end of my weed eater

I have a Troy Built Super Bronco.

That thing will take off if it hits a root or solid soil. It does well if you can hold it back, but it will drag you like a big dog on a leash if your not paying attention.

Worked soil, no problems with it. Just getting the soil to where it's loose is the issue, LOL.

I've done several gardens with it though. Only had to replace the axle seals.

God Bless,
David B.

I just bought the tiny Honda FG110. I bought it mainly to use for dethatching my lawn but a turned and old flower bed under with it. Man, that thing is a beast to be as small as it is. I think it'll dig a well if you hold it in one spot long enough.

The tiller is a economy Bronco built by Troybilt he wants $300 for
it, it is in real good shape, has a new carb on it and everything works including reverse.
