Agri-Fab Universal Tow-behind Tiller

Anyone have experience with the Agri-Fab Universal Tow-behind Tiller? It would sure make gardening easier and would really help with enlarging the garden. But I don't know how good a tiller it is, expecially for the price.

Actualy was looking at them myself, but went with a tractor, w/pto, so that is what I am looking at now.
Seems O.K, most tiller even for the PTO are about the same price or more.

Ive had an Agri-Fab spreader and a lawn sweeper. They both lasted almost a year before wearing out. They were cheaply made and too flimsy to be worth repairing.
I wont be buying any more of their products

I have heard bad things about these. The best way may be to have someone come over with a tractor and use a plow or PTO tiller to do the initial break up, then use a regular tiller to do the rest.

I wouldn't consider one if it were me. How much does that cost? I think a good used walk behind tiller would be a better choice. If wanting to expand your garden definetly pay someone to plow it this fall with a full sized tractor, it will make it much easier.

One problem is - what will you be towing it with?

Tillers need to be slow. No ATV or other fast machine.....

I'd be using it with a 24 hp yard tractor, also it would be used on an existing garden. Using a regular tiller is really murder on my arthritis, and having it done costs $400. My worry is the quality of the tiller, and it doesn't sound good.
Oh well, a regular tiller and lots of codiene have worked in the past, so they'll work in the future.
Thanks!
