Hello fpsfreak...
Welcome to this Great forum & getting a lot greater every day...

Those 'tillers' are rather smallish ... what type soil, and how much tilling are you planning?
And BTW, I think most of us are your user name... :smile:KennyV

buddy of mine bought a rear tine cubcadet at HD for $700.00,seems to be a nice machine powered with a honda engine.TSC also sells the same machine ,same price. russ

if i were buying a tiller after i find the size i want i check the feed back on it and reviews then i go the the small engine repair see how many are sitting around and whats wrong with them i can tell you when i was running around the shops looking for a rim for my tiller i seen several of the troy bilt tillers most al of them had broken tines and some were less than 2 years old the guy @ the shop said that was a common problem.
