Thanks, someone also gave me the lead of Southern Global Tractor, 866-742-5748. Won't be open until Monday though. My neighbors are already commenting how their gardens need to be turned shortly and might it be available for borrowing. Hey, it racks up good neighbor points.
Have no intent in going in the garden tilling business. I know one guy who tried it in the past. He say folks don't want to pay much as it doesn't take long with a tractor and 5' tiller. However, they don't consider the time and effort to load and unload the tractor, plus wear and tear on equipment, much less something for your time. Heck, let them turn the garden over by hand. It's good exercise.
I have a pasture of about five acres which needs renovating fairly badly. I can't do it all at once as it is the primary grazing I have for my cows between when the large fields are planted and harvested. If this works OK, I can do perhaps one acre a year, starting with the worse areas.
