Troy Bilt Tiller

[Speckledpup]

Does anyone have any experence with the 4 cycle Troy Bilt tiller, I'm talking the little one that looks like a Mantis?

DH is having surgery this Spring, so the garden is my baby this year and I can't man handle his tiller.

Yes, had one for several years. Very easy starting, excellent machine. It is a hoe, not a turning plow. In an established garden it will keep the weeds down and turn up a seed bed, but it will not break sod or chop up green manure. If you let the grass get ahead of you, you will have to get someone to get out the big tiller and catch up. You walk backward using these little tillers; let it till a foot or so ahead, then pull it back as you step backward, let it till ahead again and repeat. When weeding you can weed within inches of your plants. If you tilt the tiller right or left it moves to the righ or left.

Great, the garden is already established and he'll be tilling it the week before his surgery weather permitting. I just need sonething to help me keep the weeds down and losen the soil. Figured as small as it is I should be able to use it in my raised beds also.
